On her path, Yasmin meets inspiring people from all around the world who have become symptom-free of their illnesses. However, as time goes by, she must learn that this route is not as easy as just taking a pill. Suffering more and more seizures, Yasmin has to decide whether this idealistic dream is really worth the risk.
