Medium Alex Hurschler tells the story of his life. Even as a child, seeing and communicating with the dead is the most natural thing in the world to him. In fact, it surprises him that others cannot see them. His inner voice talks him through the ups and downs of life, warns him about imminent dangers and helps him with his work in the military police. Still, for the longest time he doesn't know what to make of this voice, or the dead people who keep visiting him, especially at night, so he tries to shut it all out.
After many years, he finally meets Pascal Voggenhuber, a teacher who shows him how to deal with what he sees. He starts training as a medium to gain a better understanding of his talent and finally becomes a professional, helping the bereaved process their grief.
Pascal Voggenhuber: "Sometimes you forget what you can do or feel like hiding it because it may be embarrassing. But I want to encourage you to believe in yourself, live your dream, and, most importantly, enjoy it."
