Synopsis
Marcel is an autistic teenager. His friend Joe invites him to the cinema. Joe has Down's syndrome. Other friends are invited too and they all meet in the cinema foyer. They can't decide what film they should go and see and give the ticket salesperson a hard time. One of the friends tries to jump the queue when they're buying snacks. The same person starts talking on their mobile phone during the film. Other people in the audience get angry with them, and Marcel tries to get his friends to settle down. Three of them start throwing popcorn and their behaviour ends up getting them thrown out of the cinema.
