Boris and Katarina are a young, happy couple, full of plans and ideas, pursuing their shared artistic passions. She is a 40-year-old Berlin artist and filmmaker; he is a 33-year-old composer and cellist about to sign a contract in New York. It all starts as a home-video of the newly-weds on their trip to New York. Suddenly Boris collapses and their entire world is turned upside down. Boris is suffering from a life threatening brain-stem stroke. He is locked inside his own brain. He can hear but is unable to move or communicate; his chances of recovery seem very slim. —http://www.dokfest-muenchen.de
