#MS-We'll get rid of it
Mother and daughter, friends and allies for life. Her nineteen-year-old daughter Mia is studying veterinary medicine when she suddenly finds herself unable to hold the scalpel any longer. The initial diagnosis: quite normal stress symptoms. But three years later, frightening symptoms reappear and an examination in the emergency room brings shocking results to light. The final diagnosis: incurable multiple sclerosis. At first, it seems like the young student can carry on with her life carefree, managing university, social media hashtags, and a trip to London. When she then falls in love with sports student Ben, her happiness seems perfect. Yet... something in this relationship takes a wrong turn. A short time later, Mia's condition deteriorates – also because a super medication shows no effect. Mia becomes a case requiring constant care. How does Ben react? What does the daily life look like for daughter and mother, suddenly navigating a world of wheelchairs, hospital gloom, and catheters? And what if the doctors' prognoses are wrong and there might be a way back after all? Through neuroplasticity, adopting new thought processes, employing simple motivational techniques, harnessing the self-healing powers of our bodies, practicing positive thinking, undergoing physiotherapy, and engaging in imaginary physical exercises. Also, thanks to the placebo effect... A story of unconditional love. Of hope that demands true determination. And of days when happiness is just a heartbeat away.
