Trying to contextualize and come to terms with a terminal cancer diagnosis comes with heartbreak and heavy realizations. Colorado Poet Laureate Andrea Gibson approaches their situation with honesty and art. Alongside their fellow poet partner, Megan Falley, Gibson works towards a big final performance, bringing their spoken word skills to life on an otherwise grim topic. The true beauty comes from within their relationship. We are brought into some of the most candid and intimate times in their lives. Hot Docs alum Ryan White (The Case Against 8, Ask Dr. Ruth) captures moments of heartache and humour in Gibson’s journey, showcasing how art can provide healing and meaning and that true love offers grace and acceptance. Gabor Pertic.

Content Warning: Adult themes. Descriptions of assault, discussion of trauma.
