About this Video

In 2018, shortly after my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he mentioned to me in passing that he wanted to die alone - without his wife or three children to be with him at the end. I found that very troubling, but didn't delve into any conversation with him about it. I never got the chance to properly discuss it with him, before his health declined and he passed away in 2019. I used this film as a vessel to explore this conversation between father and daughter.
