Born with a frontal lobe disorder, directly after birth Henriette remained in the intensive care unit and only after many weeks she was given to her parents. This early childhood trauma is expressed today in a wild mixture of aggression and neediness. The highly intelligent Henriette is fighting against rejection which she often provokes herself. On her side there is Guido who is steadfastly building bridges to her surroundings, which she continually destroys. But thanks Guido she takes remarkable development steps.
In an inclusive fairy tale she defeats the magic bird and shows that she owns capacities which are an enrichment for others. The love story between Henriette and Guido is more than the narrative of her struggle with and in the society. It is also an example for many mentally ill people with their longing to be noticed and to be taken seriously.
