DAVID AND LISA (1998)

Cast

Plot

Powerful, tear-jerking drama about two deeply dysfunctional teenagers who just might be able to save each other. Both from troubled backgrounds, David is obsessive and terrified of touch, while Lisa acts like a little girl, talking only in rhymes to prevent her alter ego, Muriel, emerging. When the pair meet in a teen mental health clinic, the instant empathy they feel for each other is the first step on the long and painful journey back to some sort of normality.
