Synopsis
Femke is sick and done with being sick. She lives with the rare autoimmune disease Lupus. A sniper. Her immune system doesn’t know what the good or bad cells are, but thát she already explained a thousand times! Through her imagination she’s able to cope. Vulnerable and obstinate she fights her battle. Cynical when needed. In the film we experience how. It draws us into her inner world. We see what she doesn’t want to show. We hear what she normally doesn’t say. On the cutting edge, because she assumes that she can do everything. In her head, at least.
