A Graceful Illusion

Tough luck for some, blessing in disguise for most. Two patients’ test results are accidentally switched, turning their lives upside down: on that evening, Eloise believes she has less than two months to live. As for Max, he’s celebrating the so-awaited cancer free news. The day after, he finds out the truth and is even more astonished when his friend, Dr. Ibn Mansour reveals who the other patient is: it’s Max’s former lover and drug-addict Eloise. Max insists on delivering the news to Eloise himself, but won’t. In the most selfless act, Max will make one final attempt to save Eloise as she continues to believe the lie, hoping to teach her a lesson and a lifesaving wake-up call.
