Stiff-person syndrome (SPS), also known as stiff-man syndrome, is a rare neurological disorder that causes progressive muscle stiffness and spasms. 

The spasms can be painful and come and go, and they can worsen over time. The stiffness usually affects the torso muscles, but can also affect the arms and legs. 

Celine was diagnosed with the degenerative disease in December 2022. 

The trailer offers viewers just a tease of the upcoming documentary. 

In it, the Canadian admits she was reluctant to share too much about her recent struggles, which viewers can see as she does her workouts and shows what limitations she has.

By the time she was diagnosed, she had already postponed or canceled several concerts and live appearances. 

‘It’s not hard to do a show, you know. It’s hard to cancel a show,’ she says in the trailer. 

‘I’m working hard every day, but I have to admit it’s been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people. I miss them.’ 

Celine is bringing her trademark determination to fight her disease. 

‘If I can’t run, I’ll walk,’ she declares. ‘If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl.’
