About the film: These could be the best years, but depression has thrown Hanna, Kati, Martin, Popey and Sascha off course. They are confronted with questions about life and face the challenges of finding their individual ways out of depression.
Can a young woman who has experienced depression actually have children? Can I break out of my marriage to take a new path? Will I be able to leave my depression behind me through activity and exercise? Will I be able to embark on a new career path despite my illness? Will I ever find a partner for life and get rid of my feeling of loneliness? What strategies work to overcome depression or at least live better with it? The film provides realistic, touching insights into the lives of the protagonists, encouraging viewers and dispelling prejudices. The film will be followed by a panel discussion with experts, those affected, relatives and professional supporters from various fields of work. The event is part of a project by the Landesverband Gemeindepsychiatrie Sachsen e. V. for more education and exchange about mental illness and to combat stigmatisation and discrimination against people with mental illness. It is a co-operation between VIP Chemnitz e. V. and the Chemnitz Adult Education Centre.
