SYNOPSIS

One quadriplegic, 20 acres and 700 pigs are the setting for the feature documentary When Pigs Fly - a film that probes the complicated relationships that emerge when fate and obsession converge upon a family.

The documentary by Central Florida filmmakers Phyllis Redman and Eric Breitenbach provides an unflinching look at a family coping with one member's physical disability and increasingly eccentric behavior. Individual rights of self-determination are raised as the Yazurlo family walks the fine line between love and obsession, passion and madness.

Three years in the making, When Pigs Fly is alternately heartwarming and heart wrenching, and in the words of one reviewer "absolutely contradictory and maddening."
