I know this is isn't the social platform for own stories. So I will keep it short:
I am a Dutch male and I have a severe heart condition since birth. I got in touch with a heart foundation so we celebrated 'heart camps' together. Back in 2003 and 2004 I was 18 and 19 years young. And back then we also we're fortunate enough to have a Dutch airplaine organisation called Transavia Airlines (part of the Air France KLM Group) with their volunteer organisation called "Peter Pan Reizen": fully equiped and payed for vacations for people with a life long and/or threathening disease.
Many of us weren't able to go on such vacations. Parent's couldn't afford it, mostly, let alone going by yourself.
And there we went :) And concidering our ages: yes, this movie completely got the gist of it! It is well played by all of them. From frustrated and angry adolescents to people who were completely okay with themselves. I could still walk and party back then, but also late friends of mine who were severly comorbid. We lost one of them during one of those trips as well... It was very painful and confrontational. As well as this movie is to me.
It is hard to understand the severity of most things in this movie. But imho they did an excellent job capturing it all <3.
