Albert Casals is a young man who has been in a wheelchair since suffering leukemia at the tender age of five. But this hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his dream to travel around the world his own way—without money, without companions, and without luggage. Albert has been a world traveler since age 15, setting off from home armed with nothing but his imagination and his courage.

Little World takes us along on his greatest challenge yet: to reach the exact opposite side of the planet. This time, he is taking a handy cam and his girlfriend, Anna, along on the adventure. Mixing home video techniques and traditional documentary methods, this inspiring film tells the story of this insightful young man, his relationship with Anna, his philosophy on life, and his parents’ approach to raising him.

“The infectiously upbeat celebration of a “differently abled” young man looks set to delight festival and small-screen audiences after its well-received Amsterdam bow.”— The Hollywood Reporter
