Synopsis:
Norman (Dan Byrd) has stomach cancer: three months to live. At least that is what he lets his peers at school believe. In reality, Norman is a physically healthy but emotionally troubled teenager trying to deal with the death of his mother and the terminal illness of his father (Richard Jenkins). Told with an air of sad playfulness, this bittersweet comedy features a score composed and performed by acclaimed Chicago musician Andrew Bird.
