Mein linker Fuss - My Left Foot

Christy Brown is born as one of 22 children (of which 13 survive) into a poor Irish working-class family. He suffers from polio and is unable to speak or walk, and the means to support him are barely available. While he receives a lot of love from his mother, his father does not believe in the special boy. However, one day, when he manages to save his mother despite his limited communication abilities, his father begins to see something in Christy. Christy becomes aware that he can write and, above all, paint with his left foot, and so he starts to spend a lot of time on his new hobby. But aside from the challenges that come with being a disabled artist, the young man must also confront the pain of unrequited love.

My Left Foot - the cinematic biography of the exceptional artist Christy Brown, featuring acting legend Daniel Day-Lewis in his most significant role to date, is released on Blu-ray in Germany for the first time.
