A celebration of life filled with raw honesty, surreal bursts of imagination, and brazen irreverence, the film shows us what it really means to live happily, and hilariously.
Unexpected, irreverent, and defiantly heartfelt, the film is a wildly life-affirming film about death and about the strange clarity that arrives when time suddenly becomes finite. When André Ricciardi, a self-proclaimed “idiot” for skipping the colonoscopy that could have saved him, learns he is dying, he turns his final chapter into an experiment in radical honesty, humor, and curiosity. A lifelong iconoclast and ad-industry provocateur, André has never done anything the conventional way, and confronting mortality proves no different.
