Ways to Live Forever
Directed by Gustavo Ron
A tender, philosophical portrait of a dying child's quest to understand life and death through curiosity and connection with those around him.
Sam loves facts. He wants to know about UFOs and horror movies and airships and ghosts and scientists, and how it feels to kiss a girl. And because he has leukemia he wants to know the facts about dying. Sam needs answers to the questions nobody will answer.
