- Synopsis
- This is not a film about cancer. It is a story of love, resilience, and the power of imagination. It reminds us of the childlike wonder that accompanied the defining moments of our formative years: our first loves, our first heartbreaks, the glorious victories, and the tragic defeats. It reminds us that the most beautiful thing about humanity is how fragile it can be, and how strong we are when we stick together.
  I asked a friend's son how he felt after fighting and beating cancer. He said he felt amazing, that the past year was the best year of his life. The reason? Because he had made so many friends at the hospital with kids who inspired him to get better, who urged him to keep fighting even when he wanted to give up. He told me they are the reason he survived.
  This film is dedicated to him, and the countless other children who fearlessly battle cancer and still manage to find joy in life.
