What does it mean to give up one’s life to another? A moving documentary about dignity, the love of a family and an independent life.
Thirty-year-old Peter experiences life differently, through touch, smell and taste. Born without the ability to hear, see, or speak, Peter’s family must do this for him. Years later, he was also placed on the autism spectrum. Since she came into the world, his younger sister Christine has been by his side, guiding him and supporting their parents. Traveling through a myriad of emotions, she is now coming to terms with the fact that she will one day become his guardian.
"A deeply moving, compassionate and ultimately heart-warming film." (Business Doc Europe)
