Heller Tag
Synopsis
Bright Day
George has a fatal illness. He is frightened by his pending death and is alone in his fear. During the short period he still has to live, many changes happen to him. However, it is not only that he perceives the outside world in a different way, his thoughts, dreams, and memories move him more than ever before. Both hope and tragedy manifest themselves to him during his last few days.
