Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

It's the story of going back to work the first time after the long and winding treatment for cancer. We follow our two protagonists journey to meet again their old colleagues, to be again at their work place… They will be in their old setting but they are not the same anymore.

They survived cancer. We see flashes of their past combined with visions of their suffering.

We go through the emotional journey back to work with them.

At the end, we witness the final climactic moment when each character comes face to face with their employers, the first day they come back to work. Normal life resumes.

Like heroes after a tough battle.

Background:

Our CEO knows first hand what it is like to work with cancer after receiving his own diagnosis last year and publicly shared the news of his treatment with our teams and partners. He received an outpouring of stories and support and learned that, in addition to being scared for their health, cancer patients were too often scared for their jobs, and felt the need to hide their illness.

Too many people feel uncomfortable reaching out for help within their place of work and many leaders are unaware of the resources that exist for aid. We had to take a big initiative to start reducing this fear, which is why we wanted a campaign that would remove the stigma of cancer at work and stand with every employee dealing with the disease through concrete action.
