David has cerebral palsy. He can’t feed himself, shower by himself - or wank. 25, gay, horny and totally inexperienced, he sets out on a sexual and romantic odyssey, armed with a fierce brain and impressive dick pics that he has to get someone else to take. But can he manage his need for round-the-clock care and still seem independent and sexy if the right guy comes along? Animal is a funny, uncomfortable and moving play about disability.
