How do people approach life when the end is near? Taking a personal rather than clinical approach, this sensitive documentary records the intimate thoughts and feelings of Bobbie Martin, diagnosed with leukemia; Jeff Swinerton, with lymphatic cancer; Paul Starr, with AIDS; and Chennelle Jaramillo, with Batten Disease, a degenerative neuromuscular disorder. Hopes, fears, regrets, the reactions of others, and preparations for the end are all candidly discussed, offering a penetrating look at what life is really like for those who dont have long to live.
