Many people describe the tormenting feeling of loneliness in a surprisingly consistent way. In addition to mental problems, loneliness can also cause physical problems and make you seriously ill. The causes of this unwanted loneliness are as varied as the people Donat Hofer meets on his journey - the loss of a loved one, frailty in old age, a lack of parental love or simply not feeling like you belong. The topic is associated with shame and those affected are usually reluctant to talk to others. There are, however, various ways of getting in touch. Be it through neighborhood help, at the chat box or on an afternoon of cuddling with strangers. Donat Hofer joins the cuddle crowd and finds much more than just physical proximity. _____________________________________________ ▪ Producer: Vanessa Nikisch ▪ Editor: Donat Hofer, Matthias von Wartburg ▪ Camera: Matthias Gruic ▪ Sound: René Alfeld ▪ Editing: Dave Leins ▪ Production: Christine Rindisbacher ▪ Director: Anita Richner _____________________________________________ This is "Reporter": Our reports focus on individual people.
