Special Things to Do

Follows CC, a young tennis superstar who, following a career-altering injury has become a self-loathing shell of her former self. In an effort to improve her public image, her handlers arrange the ultimate PR-booster: she'll spend the afternoon in a lavish hotel with one of her biggest fans, a terminally ill fifteen-year-old boy, Cliff Finley. While Cliff is surprised to see his idol as a deeply flawed and vulnerable creature, CC is thrown for an emotional loop when Cliff attempts to lose his virginity with her. What follows is a strangely affecting, darkly witty journey of self- discovery for two lost and isolated young people: one haunted by the possibility that he'll never achieve his goals, the other devastated by the realities of achieving them.
