In spite of suffering from craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, a disease that causes facial disfigurement, Rocky Dennis is a humorous and intelligent kid. While many people reject him due to his appearance, his mom’s biker friends accept him. Rocky collects baseball cards and his biggest dream is to take a motorcycle tour of Europe with his best friend Ben. Rocky is concerned about his mother’s alcohol and drug dependence. On October 31, 1979 [26:51 to 30:05] at a Halloween party Rocky develops a headache caused by his condition that can only be alleviated by his mom talking to him. During a visit to a carnival funhouse, the mirrors that distort everyone else’s appearance make Rocky look normal. After a popular and attractive girl at school silently rejects him, Rocky questions if any girl will ever like him. In response his mom hires a hooker for him, but this angers Rocky as it implies women will only like him if he pays them. Rocky wins several academic awards at school. His grandparents come to visit. His grandfather introduced Rocky to baseball card collecting, but they don’t approve of their daughter’s biker life style. Rocky goes to be a counselor’s assistant at a summer camp for blind youth. There he meets Diana, a blind girl and they fall in love. After they leave the camp, Diana’s overprotective parents keep Rocky from talking to her. Rocky is happy when his mom says she has quit using drugs, but he gets upset when Ben moves to Michigan, scuttling the motorcycle tour. Rocky goes to see Diana, who confirms she still loves him, but then Rocky dies in his sleep.
