SYNOPSIS

When one-year-old Joel is diagnosed with terminal cancer, his father Ryan begins working on an unusual and poetic video game to honor Joel's life. Following Ryan's family through the creation of the artful game and the day-to-day realities of Joel’s treatment, David Osit and Malika Zouhali-Worrall's remarkable new film is a moving testimony to the empathetic power of art, examining how we process grief through technology in the twenty-first century and the implications of documenting profound human experiences in a new artistic medium: the video game.
