The film is about the arduous, at times ecstatic, process of grieving death. Feeling limited by her own cultural upbringing, filmmaker Dr. Michelle Peticolas, seeks a more open and creative approach to the loss of her parents. With San Francisco's Day of the Dead as backdrop, she shares the stories of four people who inspire her: Dan, a no-nonsense guy who gets caught up in the mystery of his wife's dying; Marcia, a spiritually-guided newly-wed and widow; Gladys, the compassionate church-friend of an HIV positive man; and Geoff, an only-son coping with the double loss of his mother to cancer and his father to suicide. From diagnosis to death to mourning, the film explores the heart and soul of grief.
