Come As You Are
115 minutes | Belgium | Dutch, French, Spanish with English Subtitles

Mature content. Recommended for adults.

On
a quest to lose their virginity, three young men with disabilities embark on a wild road trip. Enjoying the finer things in life (like wine
and song), these friends believe the only thing missing is the touch of
a woman. Isolated by their disabilities and cared for by their parents,
they convince their families they need to go to Spain on a “wine tour” but this is a cover for their true destination — a Spanish brothel that caters to men with disabilities. 

Free screening.  RSVP to Aryn.Cahen@jccnv.org
