While studying in Italy, David learns his mother plans to disconnect his father�s respirator, as his years-long coma offers no hope of recovery.As David navigates life with his grieving mother, he struggles to fill the emotional void left by his father�s impending death. He spends his days learning to drive, visiting more affordable medical specialists, and seeking intimacy with any man who shows him even the slightest interest. But as he faces the realities of life and death, David is forced to confront his father�s passing and reconsider his own future.Balancing pathos and humor, Said explores the emotional cost of loss, asking: What is the price we, the ones left behind, must pay when someone we love dies-Executive produced by Nicol�s Avruj and Diego Lerman (known for Monos, The Substitute, and The Man Who Loved UFOs), the film also stars renowned Latin American actress Rita Cortese (Wild Tales, Herencia), Argentine singer Juliana Gattas, and Pablo Larra�n regular Antonia Zegers (The Club, The Punishment).Critical acclaim: �A marvel, chaotic, sweet and sour, emotional and purely detailed.� �Francisca Romero, Spanglish Cinema�Brings this somewhat mournful portrait to a quietly moving grace note, suggesting the silver lining of loss is a motivational reminder to the living.� �Nicholas Bell, IONCINEMA�Just what you didn�t know you needed, but you do�a comedy about death and euthanasia.� �Alexa Dalby, Dog and Wolfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch-v=fFPFfKBxNk4
