Precious
Precious is a highly physical comedy satire about Gus, a girl with an intellectural disability. Gus's parents are inventors who have devoted their lives to creating devices to protect Gus. They have to move to a new house and Gus wants to explore. She meets Slug, a local boy, and they become friends. Gus's mum is terrified of the consequences of Gus being bullied by Slug. In a farcical comic manner, Gus's spirit of adventure wins through and her parents learn to let her grow a little.
