Sophea, an enthusiastic soul in her early 40s, challenges the 'survivor' narrative, embraces her scars and refuses to be defined by her illness. Faced with an advanced stage of breast cancer, Sophea shares her journey, not just to chronicle her battle, but to challenge societal perceptions of breast cancer. The film doesn't shy away from the physical and emotional toll, but also captures Sophea's humour, resilience and determination to live life to the full.
