    • Synopsis
    • We could have told you that this is yet
      another ordinary story about a woman
      getting cancer. But Ester Sand is no
      ordinary woman. She’s the type of person
      everybody expects to live forever -
      simply because they cannot imagine a
      life without her. And yet, on her fortieth
      birthday, she receives the news that will
      turn her world upside down. She ́s got
      cervical cancer, and it could go either
      way. But after the initial shock, it is Ester
      who comforts the people in her life: her
      husband, her children, her father, her
      friends. She has no intention of leaving
      the world just yet.
      This is no time to die; it’s a time to LIVE!
