La vida de a ratos

Javier Lombardo lived a “normal” life. Children, a wife, success as an actor and writer, recognition, public affection. Pure happiness. Until he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. And his life changed forever. What is the meaning of life when illness strikes? How do we redefine who we are, what we dream of, what we desire? Why do we get sick? What is the purpose? These and many other questions unfold throughout the film, which attempts to illuminate all the possibilities we have for living a full life despite Parkinson's disease. Understanding the disease is the first step to feeling alive again. Even if only for short periods.
