ALS Anneke plot

Anneke Bakker is a tough aunt. She has a thousand jobs, travels the world, marries her great love Lidia, opens a restaurant and buys a ruin in France which she restores herself. Then, at 62, she was diagnosed with ALS: a rare, incurable muscle disease. And then also the most aggressive form. Within three months she is unintelligible and she is given a feeding tube. Not much later she asks her nieces, the sisters Jade and Mirthe van Doornik, if they want to make a film about her life with ALS.
