Stopped on Track
Film description
Forty-year-old Frank is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and suddenly has only a few months to live. It’s a shock to him, whose life was seemingly on track with a steady job and a new house in the suburbs. But Frank and his family carry on with their daily life trying to cope with the difficulty of accepting the inevitable. Taking care of Frank at home puts an immense strain on loving Simone and the kids as symptoms of the illness increase. A story about death that celebrates life.
