This story, inspired by Vancouver director Vivian Cheung’s own experience of losing her father at a young age, features an imaginative young girl who sets out to fold a thousand cranes while her father is in hospice. Although the film revolves around dying, it’s really a film about growing up in a hospital or hospice setting — including the joys and oddities.
