Synopsis:

"Wingman" tells the story of Jeppe, a man with cerebral palsy, whose identity has been shaped by his best friends, Kåre and David. Unable to speak, Jeppe’s voice has always been theirs, through a system they created together. Kåre and David are not just friends—they are Jeppe’s connection to the world. But now, everything is changing.
Jeppe is invited to speak at a major conference in Mexico, but his dream shatters when both friends cancel. Jeppe realizes Kåre and David can’t always be there for him. Struggling to express his darkest thoughts, Jeppe takes control of his story. For the first time, he directs his own voice for the documentary, revealing the unspoken truths he has long hidden.
