My Falling Sickness

Directed by Santiago Van Dam

Santiago has been unable to control his epilepsy for 28 years, dealing with the side effects of various medications. In 2010, he was hospitalized for three days in an attempt to induce seizures—to locate the point of discharge—and try brain surgery, but he was also deemed inoperable. At this point, Santiago decided to try something no one had suggested: accepting his body as it is, with its “abnormal” moments.
