What do you do when you find out that you are expecting a handicapped child? Thomas Fürhapter developed his complex cinematic essay based on this question as starting point. In DIE DRITTE OPTION, individual fates in an era of prenatal diagnostics and bio-politics are placed within a radical contemporary and sociopolitical context. Layer after layer is removed, clearing the view for essential questions related to birth, ethics, and norms – and in this way, something that affects only a few becomes a matter that concerns everyone.
