  40 minutes Over the past fifteen years, hundreds of refugee children in Sweden have become afflicted with Resignation Syndrome, withdrawing into a coma-like state for months, or even years. The families of these children have been subjected to severe trauma in their home countries, followed by the anxiety of a lengthy asylum process and an uncertain future. Life Overtakes Me immerses viewers in the lives of three families over the course of a year as the anguished parents struggle to care for their stricken children.
