De Sjældne Danskere

Here you can meet 10-year-old Piet, who has a disease so rare that doctors all over the world have not been able to diagnose it. Andrea, 12, whose metabolic disease is so severe that she must have treatment every week to survive. And Bastian, eight, whose Crouzon syndrome means he has to go through countless cranial surgeries. But despite a life in and out of hospital, and an everyday life with many challenges, Piet, Andrea and Bastian insist on getting the best out of life. Going to football and being with good friends who keep the spirits up between the many hospital visits.

Eight-year-old Bastian has been through countless skull surgeries, but he is not happy about the prospect of having 14 teeth removed. Fortunately, his fighting spirit is rewarded by his friends in the football club. For Piet, there is groundbreaking news in the search for his diagnosis. In the United States, a boy has been found who looks exactly like him, so perhaps there is hope that the family can finally get some answers. And then you can meet Hjalte, who, despite his very rare dwarfism, hopes that he has grown to one meter. Because then a party must be held.

Piet's dream of becoming a rock star almost comes true. He has to watch the recordings for the singing competition 'Voice Junior'. Bastian has to have an operation, but even though he has tried it many times before, everything is still not as usual. Hjalte is looking forward to the dwarf seminar, because here he doesn't have to worry about being different. Also meet Alberte, whose metabolic disease is so serious that the family is constantly on alert to avoid her going into a coma or, in the worst case, dying. Still, the 8-year-old girl keeps her spirits high.

Hjalte dreams of becoming an actor and showing the world that you can, even if you have dwarfism - now he has to go to the casting. But he also needs to be measured again. He was last measured at 99.9 cm. Will he finally get his 1-meter party? Alberte has a birthday and is happy with her presents like any 9-year-old. And it's a big thing for the family. It has never been a matter of course that she has become so old. It is also a big day for Andrea. For the first time in her 12-year-old life, she will have her weekly treatment at home. Hopefully that makes it all a little easier.
