Can & Able

Laila, a college student, composes music, plays chess, writes, and is fascinated by sex, and masturbates to porn. Sounds about right for a college student, no? The difference is that Laila (a character essayed by Kalki Koechlin in the 2014 film, Margarita With A Straw) is affected by cerebral palsy.
