Special Q&A

OmeU & accessible German version (AD & SDH) via the Greta app


Following the screening, we invite you to a post-screening discussion: Co-director and protagonist Laura Kansy will join us via Zoom to talk about living and working with ME/CFS. Kristina Dettmer, a former patient advocate and pediatric nurse from Munich, will be on site to share her perspective based on her own experience. ME/CFS is a severe, as yet little-researched multisystemic illness that often leads to massive limitations in daily life. The discussion will be moderated by Maya Reichert. Together, they will open a space for exchange and questions from the audience.

HELLO NEW BODY, HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

Deutschland 2025 – Director: Laura Kansy – Original language: German – Subtitles: English – Length: 30 min.

Filmmaker Laura Kansy is one of an estimated 650,000 people in Germany living with ME/CFS. In her early 30s, she was suddenly thrown off course by this poorly researched multisystemic illness. Gently and with impressive visuals and sound, she documents the daily routines of her new microcosm with the help of her partner. K.S.
