About the film:
Feeling limited by her cultural upbringing around death, filmmaker Dr. Michelle Peticolas, seeks a more satisfying approach to the loss of her parents. Using San Francisco's Day of the Dead as a backdrop, she reveals the stories of four people: Dan, a no-nonsense guy who gets caught up in the mystery of his wife's dying; Marcia, who is spiritually-guided to accompany and wed a man with cancer; Gladys, the compassionate church-friend of an HIV positive man who has been abandoned by his family; and Geoff, an only-son coping with the double loss of his mother and his father. From diagnosis to death to mourning, the film explores the heart and soul of grief.
