My Life with Myself: Living with F.O.P.

How do young people undergo their everyday life when living with a chronic disease? We join the daily activities of adolescents going through this experience; we get to know their family, friends and passions. With an eye on their lives and experience, this series intends to have a more complex approach to the notion of healthy life and question all prejudices related to the difficulties of living with a chronic disease. This episode is focused on Manuel, who lives with F.O.P. (Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva). This factual series innovates artistically by using animation and personal footage of the young adolescents that have lived with chronic diseases since their childhoods. Besides, it explores an intimate register that results in a very powerful and sensitive narrative.
