"The big luck has many faces"
This is unique. For his four-part entertainment show "Show me your world" (from Wednesday, June 19, 9:45 pm ARD) Kai Pflaume (46) accompanied six people with Down syndrome ("Mongolism") and experienced their everyday life.
A work that deeply impressed the moderator . The Hallenser talked about the very emotional moments in an exclusive interview with us.
Did you sometimes think during shooting that "people with Down Syndrome have a hard time in life"?
Kai Pflaume: "No, it has never been there, above all, I have met people who have an incredibly fulfilled life and spray with joy of life." That was almost exemplary for me. "
How did you feel after the experience?
Kai Pflaume: "That was certainly unusual, but totally elated, the shooting days were always full of energy, I do not often experience such a concentrated joie de vivre in everyday life, it was fulfilling, I learned and could do a lot of things about people with Down syndrome take a lot for me. "
What for example?
Kai Pflaume: "One should enjoy every day and laugh at least once a day, because the great happiness has many faces, only we do not see them all, happiness is not equated with wealth or success."
When you talk about the program, you are emotionally moved!
Kai Pflaume: "That's right, we are showing far too few feelings today, I've experienced a lot in my life and I've never been ashamed when I showed feelings."
Your children are both healthy. Are you grateful for that?
Kai Pflaume: "Of course we're happy about it, I enjoy the moment and thank God, that I'm so lucky."
Is there something you believe in?
Kai Pflaume: "I always believe in the goodness of people and I think there is a solution to every problem I am someone who always looks ahead and for whom many problems are not a broken leg."
