About :
Marie needed an organ donation as a child: she was 3 months old when she had to go to hospital. The doctors discovered that the child had a rare disease. After an operation, it was clear that Marie could only survive if she received an organ donation and a new liver transplant quickly. The child began a long stay in hospital. The baby now received medical care around the clock at Essen University Hospital. Her parents, Tanja and Daniel Hoffmann, hardly left her side. The grueling wait lasted five long months - then a suitable organ was found. But the operation was dramatic, and Marie's life was still in jeopardy afterwards. The parents were tormented by the thought of whether they had made the right decision. The authors met Marie and her family again six years later and followed them until the end of 2019: The fact that Marie is alive is nothing short of a miracle for the Hoffmanns. They are infinitely grateful to the anonymous parents of the baby whose liver saved Marie's life. The Hoffmanns' twins go to kindergarten together. Nothing seems to indicate Marie's problems in the past. But life with a transplanted organ means that Marie has to take half a dozen medications every day and go for regular medical check-ups. Any abnormality can be a sign that her life is in danger. Marie's development is delayed by the long hospital stay, but her parents still hope that the twins will start school together. The school entry test is a major challenge. ______ A film for people up close by Jule Sommer and Udo Kilimann. This film was produced in 2020.
