This documentary shows the protagonists personal development through a potentially fatal medical condition, colitis ulcerosa, over a period of four years. Here we not only look at the protagonist, but also close relatives and friends. Often, the impact on the latter is neglected, but equally important to get through these difficult phases as a mutually supporting group. The documentation’s aim is to encourage openness about these medical conditions, but also about resulting mental challenges that might arise – and to get professional help where necessary.
