The moving story of a Tunisian man who refuses to let cancer define his mother\u2019s life and turns her treatment into a celebration of love, joy and resilience.<\/p>\n
When Tunisian TV host Hassen becomes a full-time caregiver for his mother Saliha, dying of lung cancer, their home and hospital visits become the backdrop for an intimate family love story. This observational documentary follows them through birthday celebrations, 4am medication, difficult medical consultations and quiet, emotional moments together. Their bond gradually goes beyond conventional parent\u2013child roles, as Hassen works tirelessly to preserve joy, dignity and a sense of normal life for Saliha. As the cancer spreads and her chances fade, they face impossible choices: treatment versus comfort, hope versus honesty, a son\u2019s devotion versus his mother\u2019s exhaustion. After Saliha\u2019s death, we see Hassen back in the studio, hosting live television while still guided by her memory, redefining his mother as \u201ca notion of love\u201d that continues to shape him. Raw but unsentimental, the film captures caregiving as both an act of endurance and a profound declaration of love itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
