Amsterdam - The Harlem Shake became a global Internet hype in no-time. Millions participated. They danced the Harlem Shake like they lost control of their bodies for a moment. There's no message behind it, it's just plain fun to watch. But we do have a clear message: Parkinson's patients lose control over their bodies, forever.
There's no acting in this film. The main character, a Parkinson's patient, is shown shaking out of control as a result of lack of his medication.
Shaking. Fun for some... Daily struggle for others.
