The story

When 17-year-old Henry Fraser, a promising rugby player, dives into the sea while on holiday, a single moment changes his life forever. Following a spinal cord injury, Henry and his family must learn to navigate a new reality.

As the certainties they once relied on begin to fall away, they try to face the future together with hope and determination. In the hospital, Henry meets physiotherapist Agnes. She helps him focus not on what he has lost, but on what is still possible. 

Step by step, Henry learns to find meaning again in the little things and discovers an unexpected new form of expression. The Little Big Things is an uplifting true story about family, resilience and the courage to embrace a new reality with curiosity.
