Abstract

The article presents the life of a young man with Tourette’s syndrome, and focuses attention on the relationship with his parents, his brother and the peer group. The attention is paid to the importance of family support in the process of adapting a disabled person to life. Both examples of stereotypical behavior towards disability, as well as examples of an open attitude towards the needs of the Other are shown. In the final part,  recommendations for Polish language teachers regarding the potential of Werner’s film in shaping attitudes of tolerance and empathy towards others are included.
