In her film diary, the director documents the healing process of her husband (a young musician) after a severe stroke of the brain. The way she tells her story allows us a very intimate insight into the lives of both spouses that have changed lastingly, in their fight for their marriage and their future existence. This very moving film about a young couple that copes with their fate does by no means suppress the doubts and the dangers in this fight: an example of love and responsibility, of courage and desire to live.
Founded in 1955 as "Leipziger Kultur- und Dokumentarfilmwoche" (Leipzig Week for Cultural and Documentary Film), the festival is headed by Christoph Terhechte since the beginning of 2020. An Ecumenical Jury existed since 1990. It was transformed into an Interreligious Jury in 2016.
