What People Think

Aiden, mid twenties, has mental impairment after an accident. He is treated like he's an idiot, by his friends Eli and Lee, but this is light-hearted, as he joins in the mockery of himself. Aiden's sister, Susan, fancies Matt, a philosophy student, for his intellect, which she contrasts with her brother's impairment. Diane, Matt's sister, meets up with Susan and Aiden and criticises Susan for mocking Aiden's impairment, which she says helps her to cope with his disability, as she has to care for him on a daily basis. Diane takes an interest in Aiden and kisses him. Aiden believes he might have a future with Diane, who can see him not just as a disabled man, but as someone she can become romantically involved with. Diane does not care, what people think.
