Through its portrait of 13-year-old Dorotka, this documentary presents the overall issue of the acceptance of and coexistence with people with Down syndrome. Aiming to educate the public, the film poses some basic questions about its subject matter, but also functions as an ideal positive example, teaching viewers what to expect and how to behave when they meet people with Down syndrome in real life. Avoiding the overly didactic, the filmmakers based their unforced approach on the emotionally affecting testimonies of Dorotka, her family and those around her. An Extra Something makes a convincing case that the societal inclusion of people like Dorotka is to everyone’s benefit. The film won the Audience Award at the 2019 Sun in a Net Awards, the Slovak national film prize.
