"I think my arm needs to be amputated, I can't take it anymore!" Nicklas said to his mother at the age of twelve. Four years later the time had come: Nicklas' right arm was amputated. The reason was CRPS, a pain syndrome which changed his life forever after an accident. Oleg found out how Nicklas was doing today, why his other arm was also due to be amputated soon, how he was trying to cope with the situation and why he remained optimistic despite everything. Note: Pictures of Nicklas' hand can be seen from minutes 08:00 to 09:18.

Why do we let animals suffer? Do we drink too much? Or: What does porn do to us? Our team and we are interested in questions that have something directly to do with our lives, but also topics that are important to all of us and are often only discussed superficially. We look for answers to these questions, week after week - openly, honestly and independently. To do this, we don't meet experts, but are there: at the slaughterhouse, at the swinger party, while proselytizing in the pedestrian zone. And because we want to get to know as many perspectives as possible in our search, a question always occupies us for several weeks. In the end, we want to give an answer, even if that is not easy for us. With each video - but especially in the discussions with you - we come a little closer to an answer to the big, tricky questions.
