Mira has dressed up, today they are celebrating Carnival at school. Afterwards, she will go to the hospital to be with her seriously ill brother, Leo, for his treatment. Mira is 11 years old and remembers her older brother when he was fighting fit. Seven years ago, however, Leo’s illness changed everything. Mira is a school child and a pillar of the family, a small girl and a big help for her parents who lovingly try everything to make a normal family life. Nevertheless, Mira’s needs often take a back seat. She would like to be seen.
