Synopse
Documentary. Director Christina Seeland accompanied six severely disabled individuals for a year. She attended therapy sessions, went on trips and had detailed conversations with the disabled, their relatives and the nursing staff. This documentary needs no commentary. Again and again the viewer is taken by surprise by the self mockery and zest for life of the disabled. This film goes to show that every life is worth living.
Regie
Christina Seeland is trained as a theatredirector, but she works in caregiving since 13years. This is her first film.
