Description: Guido Peter was born in Pétange, Luxembourg, in 1959. At the age of twelve, he was sent to a boarding school in Arlon. Having wasted three years of his life, he returned back to his native town. But things weren't the same anymore: Guido matured and started behaving differently. Having lost all his faith in authority, he soon turned to drugs as a means of coping. Trying to keep up with his habit, he started selling heroin and living as a junkie. Now quadriplegic and bound to a wheelchair, can he kick the habit?
