Sadly, individuals suffering from mold sickness are often still marked as nothing more but neurotic troublemakers, chronic complainers, or just plain mad. But which one of the two is madder in the end: those who fell ill or the world that caused it? The documentary follows the lives of the protagonists for one year, from summer 2013 to summer 2014. It shows how the illness with its physical symptoms is only one part of the problem. Getting sick has devastated the protagonists’ lives and social relationships. Internet and social media are, if not the only, their most important form of social interaction and connection to the outside world. Additional difficulties for the protagonists, come from the irresponsibility and ridicule frequently demonstrated by society and the public. Today, people who have fallen ill due to exposure are like the canaries that in the past used to be taken down to the mines. When the bird started falling ill, people knew that the air was toxic and it was time to leave. Only today no one is taking the signs seriously. |
