But they all get along pretty well.
Michelle dreams of leaving Bangor, Maine, for sunny Los Angeles and working as a voice actress.
Shes legally blind and has Aspergers syndrome.
Her little brother died when he was 5.
It takes only a few minutes with Michelle to grasp her depth.
Shes eloquent and thoughtful, with a quirky sense of humor.
Shes unashamed of her passions be it collecting anthropomorphized cat dolls or experimenting with sadomasochism.
But all of this is eclipsed by her disabilities in the eyes of those around her.
Director Garrett Zevgetis, however, keeps his camera tight on Michelle sometimes too literally.
