Nach uns der Rest der Welt

16-year-old Jonas has muscular dystrophy, is confined to a wheelchair and knows that statistically his life expectancy is only 27 years. Jonas is intelligent and imaginative, but he often feels like “a reject in a landfill” and therefore quickly snaps. So he is kicked out of school once again. This time his overprotective mother Alma moves with him to Stuttgart, where there is the outstanding specialist Professor Wildenhahn and an inclusion school. In his new class, Jonas is seated in the back row next to Hawking, who is also in a wheelchair, and autistic Konrad. Another classmate is Emily. She is the daughter of Jonas’s attending doctor and seems to be quite under pressure. She cannot cope with her parents’ divorce and the high demands her mother places on her, and gets one bad mark after another. When Jonas catches her forging signatures, he offers to help her. Emily feels understood for the first time and falls in love with Jonas. He finds the courage to return her love – to the dismay of his and her mother.
