SYNOPSIS

How does creativity change when death is near? What counts when you must go? Diagnosed with a brain tumor and given three more years to live, the author of the film decides to overcome the solemnity of the issue and to explore the realm between Life and Death in order to meet some of its prominent inhabitants: famous artists who have had a traumatic brush with mortality and survived or who only have three more years to live. Death and illness - motor for creativity? Is the creative spirit in everything we do the armor against oblivion?
