Few people ever meet a dwarf face-to-face. In this personal journey, documentary filmmaker Steve Delano shows firsthand how a genetic mutation marks a person for life. He reveals the isolation of his school years, his "ludicrous" strategies to fit in as well as the mixed blessings of dwarfism. In this film, Delano exercises the license of stature and his irreverent sense of humor to confront head-on conventional representations and misperceptions about dwarfs. From growing up a "freak" - a form of forced celebrity - to finally accepting and asserting his difference, Delano provides an idiosyncratic perspective based on a tip-toe life, and contemplates a future where genetic engineering may eliminate "people of difference" altogether.
