Love Bound – When your child becomes mentally ill

One in ten in Denmark suffers from mental illness. Yet, due to the taboo and stigmatisation, it is still an under-prioritised issue. When a family member gets sick, it affects everyone in the family. The film uncovers the unconditional love that governs parent/children relationships, which must somehow be altered when a child is suffering from mental illness. Shot behind closed doors, inside the confidentiality of the therapy room, the film follows a group of parents over a period of months who share and come to realise that they are all in the same boat riding the same chaotic storm.
