Ellas Entscheidung

The story follows Ella and Marcus Herlinger as they grapple with their desire to have a child while dealing with the implications of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a hereditary condition that affects their family. Ella, who is a carrier of the disease, seeks to become pregnant through pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. The situation becomes complicated as she needs her sister Johanna's consent to secure a mortgage on their inherited family farm to afford the procedure.

As the narrative unfolds, Ella's marriage with Marcus is tested by the emotional and financial pressures of their choices. The film raises important questions about family loyalty, the ethics of genetic testing, and the impact of hereditary diseases on future generations. With a powerful performance by Petra Schmidt-Schaller and a strong supporting cast, "Ellas Entscheidung" presents a poignant look at the intersection of love, sacrifice, and the quest for parenthood.
