Synopsis

Winner of the Sundance Festival Favourite Award, this tear-jerking yet joyous film follows a poet couple navigating their life together after an incurable cancer diagnosis.

An extraordinary love story rooted in poetry, resilience, and deep connection emerges out of the cancer diagnosis received by Andrea Gibson, Colorado Poet Laureate. A beloved spoken word performer known for touring rock venues, Gibson met their partner Megan Falley on the poetry slam circuit, and their bond quickly grew. Now, they navigate life’s fragility together, writing, creating, and caring for their dogs, as Gibson prepares one final show and Megan works on a new book. Director Ryan White (The Case Against 8, SFF 2014) crafts an intimate, tender portrait of two remarkable people. By the end of this moving testament to love and the value of every little moment of life, there won’t a be a dry eye in the house.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.

Director Ryan White delivers this touching look at the fragility of human life at an essential time for queer and trans people in media… White creates a sense of existential wonder and a film bursting with hope for all kinds.
