When Jamal buys his first car, it’s a gateway to endless adventures and unforgettable moments with his closest friends. But as time passes and life takes them in different directions, their bond starts to fade. What once felt like freedom now feels like isolation, and Jamal is left grappling with the loneliness of growing apart.

Instead of telling his newly diagnosed five-year-old son that he has Leukaemia; Brian tells Arthur that the chemotherapy will give him superpowers. In a battle to keep them both positive, Brian is haunted by his lie as he struggles to find hope.
As we witness the innocence of the children in the ward believing the lies their parents tell them, we also see how haunted the parents become. This is a chilling look at how adults project fears of cancer onto children and how fighting the darkness with joy and happiness can also be a form of medicine. Inspired by true events.
