The extraordinary case of Alex Lewis. An incredible documentary about love and the human spirit.
Alex Lewis, 35, was fighting for his life after a common cold triggered a streptococcal A infection and blood poisoning with devastating effects. The young father lost four limbs and much of his face due to this infection. His story puts in perspective all our small trivial problems.
...
But his physical rehabilitation would not be his biggest challenge, but rebuild his relationship with his wife Lucy and recover the love of his three year old son, who refused to kiss him because of his condition.
...
This documentary filmed intimately for two years, and just days after having lost his limbs, the filmmaker Leonardo Machado follows the incredible story of Alex as he seeks to rebuild his life, his relationships and reinvent himself.

It is an unbreakable portrait of a family man who lost parts of his body, but it is also a love story.
