Synopsis

The Luckiest is a deeply moving and darkly funny exploration of friendship, illness, autonomy, and love.

When Lissette, a vibrant and fiercely independent woman, is diagnosed with a debilitating and terminal disease, her relationships with her best friend Peter and her mother Cheryl are tested and transformed.

Through candid humor, searing honesty and heartfelt vulnerability, the trio grapples with what it means to let go – choosing connection, compassion and dignity above all.
