METAXA Listening to time

“Living with cancer is a jurney to self-knowledge and a future that’s no longer entirely yours. cancer is a unique place between life and death.With sharpened gaze and senses attuned, the cancer sufferer moves between inwardness, self-awareness, acute sensitivity and paranoia.” Ioanna Karystiani
The documentary focuses on doctors and staff at the Metaxa cancer Hospital who themselves have cancer. It observes this special group of patients as they continue to work at the hospital. It traces their journey from the shock of learning they have cancer to the experience of “learning to listen to time.” along the way, their illness will change from a threat of death to a teacher of life, adding years to their lives but also adding life to their years.
