I Breathe and Laugh, Sing and Cry

In her film «I breathe and laugh, sing and cry», Helene Maimann portrays young people who have developed amazing skills as a result of their handicaps and live their lives full of joie de vivre and spunk. This is not a «problem film», but rather more a story about young handicapped people who have managed to lead self-sufficient lives - in spite of the difficulties they face. They have even developed skills that will amaze you. They refuse to rely on others' goodwill or pity, and hope to gain our acceptance and support. This is a journey to the world of the «others» who breathe and laugh, sing and cry just like we do  - and learn to make their way like the rest of us.
