Documentary filmmaker Melody Gilbert chronicles the daily lives of three girls from Minnesota, Norway, and Germany who share a rare condition: congenital insensitivity to pain. Despite the seeming benefits, this condition makes them vulnerable to harm, as they lack the warning signs that pain provides, such as burning hands, broken bones, or cuts. The film highlights the importance of constant protection and vigilance to prevent injuries and ensure their safety.
