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.
