Who doesn't love a high school prom? The Ball is a wonderful film from Australia that takes a look into the world of students with special needs who get ready to attend their debutante ball. The students at the Ashwood School all have mild cognitive impairments and have varying abilities. They are also at the age when they start becoming interested in the opposite sex and their own futures. The film includes first loves, fist fights and falls on the dance floor interspersed with interviews with parents, the school principal, and intimate moments in their day-to-day lives at home.
