Kalorien und Kontrolle: Wie Stinas Magersucht alles übernimmt

Anorexia often begins insidiously – with discipline, control, and the feeling of being in complete control. This documentary about anorexia follows Stina on her journey into the illness and back to life. What initially appears to be healthy self-optimization becomes an obsession for Stina: steps, calories, weight, and performance dictate her daily routine. As an aspiring teacher, gymnast, and ballet dancer, she wants to function perfectly – until the need for control intensifies and the eating disorder takes over her life. In this documentary, Stina, Nele, and psychological psychotherapist Stephanie Brausewetter discuss how anorexia develops, why it is so dangerous, and how difficult the road to recovery can be. It addresses performance pressure, body image, isolation, therapy, friendship, and the question of what true recovery looks like. A pivotal moment changes everything: only when a close friend reacts to her condition does Stina realize how far removed her perception has become from reality. She seeks help and begins to relinquish control, step by step. The documentary shows that anorexia is not a phase, a diet, or a lifestyle choice, but a serious mental illness. At the same time, it offers hope: recovery is possible, even if the path isn't straightforward. Today, Stina speaks openly about her experiences to raise awareness and show others affected: You are not alone.
