When an incurable diagnosis shatters the future they had imagined, two poet lovers choose not to retreat into silence, but to confront the unknown with words, wit, and fierce tenderness. As hospital rooms replace ordinary routines, their shared language becomes both shield and sanctuary, transforming fear into art and vulnerability into connection. What begins as a confrontation with mortality unfolds into a deeply human meditation on love, resilience, and the fragile beauty of being alive.

Moving, poetic, and quietly life-affirming, this is a portrait of love seen in its truest light—when time feels short, and every moment matters.
