Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film is an empowering portrait of director Bjarke Underbjerg’s Uncle, Jan, made as a gesture to the 10 million people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. It’s a personal film of deep humility, attempting to encompass the struggle of his uncle as well as everyone else suffering from PD.

After a conversation with his uncle Jan, a Parkinson’s sufferer, where Jan described his life now as a hike downhill—one with no turning back, but still scope to admire the view—director Bjarke Underbjerg approached the Danish Parkinson’s Association about making a more positive kind of film about Parkinson’s, one that captured the fullness of Jan’s life.
