synopsis

Twelve-year-old Bertha uses her creativity and entrepreneurship as an outlet, but above all as a force to fight against Wolfram, her rare and debilitating disease. We discover in a positive and inspiring way how she deals with the various obstacles in her path.
Bertha a 12 ans et utilise sa créativité et son esprit d'entreprise comme un débouché, mais surtout comme une force pour lutter contre Wolfram, sa maladie rare et débilitante. Nous découvrons de manière positive et inspirante comment elle gère les différents obstacles sur son chemin.
Bertha is 12 jaar en gebruikt haar creativiteit en haar ondernemersgeest als uitlaatklep, maar vooral als een kracht om te vechten tegen Wolfram, een zeldzame en slopende ziekte. We ontdekken op een positieve en inspirerende manier hoe ze de verschillende obstakels op haar weg aanpakt.
