Written & Directed by Leon Lister
Run time 11:04minAfter Maxine denies chemotherapy treatments, her grandson Jude becomes the live-in care. She has accepted her own passing, only wishing to die in her own home. Jude tries to process this with as much grace as Maxine, but is only able to begin finding closure once she’s gone.
Dawn explores what accepting death can look like from two separate parties, from the one approaching death and the one approaching loss.
