Special Screenings
"Herbert and I got to know each other during the same week in which I received my cancer diagnosis. We were love struck; we wanted to stay together for the rest of our lives. Three months later he was dead. Herbert was a base jumper. His loss – in the middle of my chemotherapy – turned my life upside down. How could he throw away his life while I’m fighting cancer? In my search for answers, I accompany Andreas, Herbert’s best friend and base coach, to the scene of the accident. In Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland’s ‘Death Valley’, I gradually put my life back together again.” (Mirjam von Arx)
