In 1998, Felix Gretarsson lost both arms in a high-voltage accident. In an instant, his life was turned upside down. He had to undergo massive rehabilitation and organ transplants to survive - only to be classified as an invalid. Mr Gretarsson's body had been hit - but his mind and fighting spirit was unbroken. For the last sixteen years he has been fighting to be the first person in the World to receive a double arm transplant of a magnitude hitherto unknown. Breakthroughs and latest developments in cutting edge science have made things possible that were a far off dream, just a few years ago. This is a Documentary on a contemporary miracle made possible through science. The operation is being performed in Lyon, France - where breakthroughs such as face transplants and lesser arm transplants have been made before. A team of experts have been preparing the operation for a very long time, practicing the routine on cadavers and building special equipment to make this modern day miracle a reality. We will follow Mr. Gretarsson through the ordeals and the endless waiting and postponing of the operation. We witness the triumph of a fighting spirit over a condition that would break most people. No insurance or state aid would cover the expenses of the operation, so Mr. Gretarsson raised the money himself, with crowdfunding and made the impossible happen. In his dreams, he sees himself with arms. It is time for dreams to finally come true. We have access to the operating table and will witness first hand this miracle.
