Synopsis:

This film follows four people with different challenges but who are all on the same quest; to find love. Through very personal narratives, the film explores the thorny issue of sex and disability as they try to meet their perfect partner.

All four characters are united through their membership of The Outsiders - the only group in the UK that takes an open and unprejudiced view to helping people with disabilities find partners by organising monthly lunches and workshops, by offering advice on their sex helpline and by putting people in touch with each other. Just by existing The Outsiders sends a clear message that people with disabilities have a right to express themselves sexually.
