MS, arthritis, diabetes, a heart attack and cancer! Such diagnoses usually draw every joy from life - not for 69-year-old wheelchair user Volkmar Kirschbaum, who keeps his charms and optimism in spite of these challenges. A highly emotional portrait about dealing with one's fate without falling victim to it, somewhere between tragedy and comedy.
