In Germany, around two to three million children live in families in which at least one parent has a mental illness. The film portrays children, adolescents and young adults and shows what it means when a parent suffers from a mental illness. Through the open stories from the real lives of those affected, the film aims to create understanding for the situation of the children and motivate others affected to deal openly with the illness, even if the subject is often still taboo.
