When Life Meets Death in a Hospital Art Room
The most profound connections often bloom in the most unlikely places. In a Glasgow hospital, seventeen-year-old Lenni Pettersson faces her terminal diagnosis with a mix of resignation and rebellion. Rather than attending the counseling sessions prescribed by well-meaning staff, she seeks refuge in the hospital chapel, forming an unexpected friendship with Father Arthur. When she discovers the newly created art therapy room, Lenni's world expands further as she meets eighty-three-year-old Margot, also facing the end of her life. Looking at their ages written side by side on their first paintings, Lenni has an epiphany: "Between us, we're a hundred years old." This simple observation sparks an extraordinary project-creating one hundred paintings to represent their combined century of living. What begins as an art project evolves into a profound exploration of life, love, and what it means to leave a legacy when your time is limited.
