For 15-year old Pauline, 10-year old Richard and 6-year old Lenni, life means something very special. They suffer from leucemia and they are facing death. Pauline writes poems, Richard knows everything about his disease and Lenni´s charm fills any room. Three strong young people with all their plans, hopes, triumphs and defeats. An unsusual cinematic approach to a situation that is not all about the disease but instead the search for life’s energy and power.

Pauline (15), Richard (10) ja Lenni (6) saatus on sarnane – neile on leukeemia tõttu määratud surra lapsena. Ent ometi on igas lapses piisavalt energiat, et võidelda oma saatusega, püüda olla sellest tugevam.
