“Downside Up” is set in a world in which all people with trisomy 21 live. That is the norm. But then Eric is born and it soon becomes apparent that he is different due to a threatening chromosome deficiency. His parents do everything they can to help their boy find his place in society, but it is not easy. Until it turns out that Eric has a talent that everyone else lacks. An unusual film about being different, told from a radically different perspective.
