Lass mich fliegen
THE WAY YOU SHINE accompanies four young people in their daily lives. Four people full of life, with clear goals – to find a job, be politically active, marry, have children. Four people who have to overcome many obstacles in order to reach these goals, as they are often pigeonholed by the society – they are people with Down syndrome.
There’s the couple, Raphael and Johanna. They are both members of the dance company “I am O.K.”. Raphael works as a waiter. They want to marry and have children at some point. But the world puts some obstacles in the path of their family planning.
Andrea is an opera fan and has been looking for a permanent job as a carer for the elderly for quite some time. But so far, the only jobs she could get were internships. She gives talks all across Germany, where she shares her experiences with a pinch of humour.
Magdalena writes poems and is politically active. She likes to take centre stage: “My parents say I’m a diva, a limelight hog”.
