But most of all, his big sister Sarah, who has cancer. Florian is sick of everyone acting like everything is fine when they all know that Sarah isnt getting any better. Being around my family is extremely hazardous to my health. So Florian makes a split decision: instead of celebrating his sisters depressing eighteenth birthday at the hospital, hes going to soccer camp. He takes off from the hospital, packs his bags, raids his parents secret stash of cash, and forges a permission letter for his coach. And he goes.
