How do we live with the knowledge of our own mortality? The film explores this question by interviewing people from various backgrounds, including atheists, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, physicians, philosophers, authors, academics, and a stand-up comic. The story centers around three individuals: a terminally ill poet trying to become a clown, a cancer patient with a 50% chance of survival, and a combat medic who has faced traumatic experiences and lost his fear of death.
Aside from That
Exploring the existential crisis of mortality, the film delves into the human quest for meaning in the face of impermanence.
