Jonna Hanberg to her daughter
Christine while driving her car and engaging in an intense exchange. Jonna is the mother of
Peter, born deaf and blind, and now a 30-year-old man, whose disability prevents him from leading an independent, normal life and massively affects those of the people closest to him.
