When he wants to know more about her disease, she is already unable to speak. Hoping to learn more, the then 18-year-old filmmaker embarks on a journey across Switzerland to meet other people living with MS: He meets Bernadette, who still laughs even though she sometimes doesn't feel like it. Luana, who has encouraging words tattooed on her arm. He meets Melanie, who builds a wordy protective wall around herself. Oliver, who has to be selective about his strength in everyday life. Graziella, who tries to maintain normality. Many of the protagonists speak very openly about their lives, which they are also able to enjoy time and again and live very intensely despite all their limitations. The extraordinary documentary MULTIPLE SCHICKSALE - Vom Kampf um den eigenen Körper, the feature-length debut of the now 20-year-old Swiss Jann Kessler, shows very personal strokes of fate and confidence, despair and courage, harrowing but also light-hearted and intensely touching moments. In doing so, the camera grants deep insights and yet keeps a respectful distance. In Switzerland MULTIPLE SCHICKSALE - Vom Kampf um den eigenen Körper was a surprise success, it ran very successfully in cinemas there. The film generated a lot of attention nationwide for the previously incurable disease, which affects over 200,000 people in Germany. A multi-layered film that doesn't shy away from the difficult questions as well as the beautiful moments of life
