DOCUMENTARY FEATURE. In 2015 Chasnoff was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and she decided to record her experience and its impact on her relationships with her wife, Nancy Otto, her two sons, and her friends. She wanted to apply to the subject the objectivity of a documentarian. That detachment was not always possible, but she faces the reality with humor and reflection, despair and determination. Reminiscent of Ed Pincus and Lucia Small’s “One Cut, One Life” (2014), the film shows how in the face of death art can bring consolation and a kind of triumph.
