OVERVIEW

Description

In this touching film we meet heart patient Christophe De Fonseca.

Christophe goes on a deliberate quest for spectacular actions that would skyrocket the heart rate of any normal person.

Cycling, drifting in a fast car, flying, ... but it doesn't affect him.

The only thing that can give him back the sensation of a beating heart is an organ donation.

Christophe's story commutes between the harsh reality of a man without a heart and the ray of hope he still cherishes.

Execution

Reborn to be Alive is an organisation that is in close contact with numerous Belgians in need of a transplant organ. Some patients' stories are more touching than others. By meeting a man without a heart, the idea was born. We contacted Christophe with the question to star in a unique documentary telling his life story. He was immediately enthusiastic and gave all his energy in making this film. Unfortunately, Christophe passed away in the finishing days of the film. It was his wish for his story to be told to the world and by this helping the many other patients on the waiting list.
