A filmmaker daughter studying in a foreign country belatedly learns of her mother’s cancer. Her mother has hidden it from her, lest she worry, but the daughter feels upset. The mother has been a doctor for thirty years, and she has thought as much about death as about living well. As the hospital has been her playground, the daughter is familiar with the scene of death, but the thought of losing her mother scares her.
