This film will tell the story of the Clark family – Michael, 42 and Matthew, 39 and their parents Tony and Christine. In 2012 the two brothers were diagnosed with an extremely rare form of a degenerative disease called Leukodystrophy. Normally the disease afflicts younger children but Matthew and Michael have a late on-set form which means their speech, movement and cognitive skills are deteriorating.
These two adult men are regressing physically and mentally back into childhood.
