I Swear

Funny, honest, and deeply human: I Swear tells the true story of John Davidson. As a child, he is a talented student and goalkeeper, until he suddenly starts swearing and moving uncontrollably. In the eighties, Tourette's syndrome is barely known and John becomes increasingly isolated. What follows is a life full of misunderstandings, shame, and loneliness, but also unexpected support and resilience. Step by step, he grows into a powerful voice in the fight for understanding and recognition. With an impressive lead role by Robert Aramayo, the film balances between painful and funny, confronting and moving. I Swear makes you laugh – until it's no longer funny.
