Two newcomers that I like, what do you do in the face of cancer? Although the topic is very heavy, the movie is very comfortable to watch. Perhaps this is the attitude the director should take to convey to us the inevitable in life.

Adam: See, but... that's bullshit. That's what everyone has been telling me since the beginning. "Oh, you're gonna be okay," and "Oh, everything's fine," and like, it's not... It makes it worse... that no one will just come out and say it. Like, "hey man, you're gonna die."
