A Few Days MORE

The film takes us through the story of a family, which is struggling to put up a spirited fight to save a loved one, who has , all of a sudden, been diagnosed with brain cancer. The narration throws light on various medical, social, psychological, emotional, financial and spiritual challenges faced by the protagonist and his family in dealing with the situation. In the process, the film tries to show up the underbelly of modern day technology-overloaded cancer management ecosystem and explores the reasons for the differential attitude of the medical fraternity towards the less glamorous and more humane practice like Palliative care, which aims at treating the person in a holistic manner rather than focusing only on the disease by using aggressive and expensive technologically overloaded medical techniques. The fast expanding universe of cancer patients has provided a huge business opportunity for the medical industry to make more money out of the sufferings and the pain of the hapless millions across the world. While highlighting the need to add life to the years of these millions of unfortunate human beings, the films tries to bring into focus more economical and humane medical practices, which are, somehow, not getting the due recognition in the fiercely commercialized cancer market of today.
