This extraordinary film traces the story of Didier, a six year old from a tiny hamlet in Colombia with a huge burden – a rare condition called a Congenital Melanocytic Nevus. It’s a giant mole that grew so much it covered 40% of his body. It resembled a shell, and Didier was nicknamed Turtle Boy. It’s a story of cutting-edge medicine, a mother’s love, and a brave six-year-old’s fight to be released from his burden.
