BORDERLINE – A FEELING OF EMPTINESS
Elina is a gifted singer. To achieve her dream of becoming a professional musical singer, she takes part in a TV show and immediately gets to the next round. But though she is successful in the show and even falls in love with a good looking young judge, she feels increasingly empty and numb inside. She tries to escape these feelings and find something, anything, that can make her feel again – even if it is pain. Elina starts to hurt herself, and it's almost too late when she realises where this will lead her.
Lots of young people know about this empty feeling. Symptoms of borderline personality disorder can occur during puberty and are expressed, for instance, by self-harming. Jana Frey's tells us a realistic and empathetic story of a gifted young woman who is almost destroyed by this illness – and how she learns, with the help of her friends and family, to get her life back again.
