"Life is a sexually transmitted disease, transmitted by those who have sex and in the end it kills you"
What a beautiful film, what a sad film, with this title there is no point in waiting for better days, we are already sure of the end, but it still makes us suffer and brings painful tears from us and a heavy heart, what a cursed disease, what a funeral poem in the form of a film, perfect soundtrack, masterful performance by little Thomas... The only absolute fact of existence, death is the only certainty of life...
Donald is a teenager with a fertile imagination and an extraordinary talent for drawing. At 15 years old, with a terminal illness, he fights against time, as he wants to have other experiences in life. Surrounded by the attention of his parents and friends, he finds Shelley, who gives him a delicate and sensual affection, and Adrian, a very special therapist who helps to balance his emotions. To deal with reality and confront his destiny, Donald draws stories that gain movement, such as that of a superhero who fights a powerful enemy who wants to destroy him.
