Mary and Max is a sweet tale of pen-friendship between two people; Mary Daisy Dinkle, a chubby, lonely and somewhat depressed 8-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max Horovitz, a year-old, severely obese, Jewish man diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome living in the crazy loud State of New York.
