The Bright Side
2021, English. Directed by Ruth Meehan.
When life lets her down, only love can lift her up.
Stand-up comedian Kate thinks her life has no meaning and is not worth continuing. When she’s diagnosed with breast cancer, even the universe seems to agree with her. However, a close encounter with death – and four other women on the chemo ward – might just change her mind and even her life.
