He writes children's stories. She design spaces. A diagnosis of cancer comes in their life. He leaves everything to be with her. More time goes by than it should have been and she still alive. In any other story this should be a gift. In real life, however, many couples go into crisis for this very reason: because life gives them more time to live. It seems absurd. Not knowing how much time remains to live can be an even stronger sentence than death itself. You can make bad choices, you are faced with a sacrifice that is sustainable for a limited time. This story is about a love that is forced to wonder how far it can go.
