Inspired by beautiful words of various roots without English equivalents.
Icarus, an etymologist with final stage glioblastoma, decides to pursue medically assisted suicide. Esme, a French expat on an expiring visa go with him on a road trip in those final days.
This is a story about love, loss, memories, and a journey on borrowed time.
