Seventeen-year old Eva has Tourette. Sometimes the ticks drive her crazy but generally Eva is quite happy. Her eccentric and loving family accepts her just as she is. It’s only when her father loses his job that the family starts to lose its balance. Together with her dotty grandmother and her loopy uncle Eva tries to contribute to the family finances, with visibly chaotic results. – until Eva finally decides to rise above herself and her illness and notices that it is time to live her own life…
An anarchic, wound up, wild, and sentimental family comedy about love, tolerance and the probably strangest illness in the world – the Tourette Syndrome.
