Daniel Meyer

Daniel Meyer is a 16 years old boy. He seems like a normal teenager, just like his friends, but he isn't. Daniel came one month earlier to the world and lost his twin sister because she died shortly after birth, and unfortunately Daniel had a malformed heart.
Since 2004 he has a heart catheter and has to have always oxygen with him. If they would have a donor heart, it would be questionable if he would survive the surgery.
The last years, Daniel spent the time alone in his bedroom just waiting to die. He had so many wishes but his family cared too much so he never had the chance to make his dreams come true.
Far away from Daniel, was living the author Lars Amend. He was running away from his depression, so he flew to Rio de Janeiro to find the meaning of the life. He lived in a very poor neighborhood, where next to him died people because they hadn't enough to eat or because someone just killed them.
He went back to Germany to write a book about his experiences, but then he heard about Daniel. The author wanted to help the teenager and went to the hospital to visit him. Suddenly, Daniel was happier because Lars laughed and discussed with him, not like his parents just were always afraid of doing something wrong.
One evening they sat in Daniel's room, and Lars had the idea to make a list about his wishes, wich were:
-Stay in a 5-star hotel
-Kiss a girl
-Stay long awake
-Pass a day kidding people
-Smoke a cigarette
-A ride with a limousine through the city
-Go shopping cool clothes and shoes
-Eat the best spaghetti Carbonara in the world
-Record a song
-See Mama being happy
Lars made his wishes come true one by one. Both are now much more happier, the teenager was having fun the first time in his life and the writer has found a new sense of life.
