Thies lives with his Girlfriend Isa and their 3-year-old daughter Ella in Berlin. He has depression. He has had it for quite a while and tried all kinds of treatments. When Isa has to leave town for work and he is alone with his daughter for a couple of days he falls even more in a lethargic state and can’t really communicate with anyone.
