Intimacy despite disabilities | DW Documentary

From the creator

Thekla Schünemann and Lars Nowak are a couple. They’ve known each other since childhood and have rarely spent a day apart. Theirs is a love story with a difference: Thekla Schünemann and Lars Nowak have Down’s syndrome. Konstantin Kluss, on the other hand, is single, but urgently wants that to change. On an online dating platform for people with disabilities, he goes in search of a partner. Will he succeed? People with impairments also need love and intimacy, but sometimes the necessary support is lacking from organizations providing care, as well as within their own families. But at this particular facility in northern Germany, things look very different: Here, people get to make their own decisions about who they want to share their lives with – or maybe just their bed! #documentary #dwdocumentary ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
