Life Goes On

An elderly man lies in bed

Synopsis

Bill is ready for the end. The end isn’t ready for him.

At 83, confined to a hospice bed, Bill finds himself caught in a cruel and absurd glitch: every time he dies, the day begins again.

Trapped in an endless loop of his final day, Bill is forced to relive the same conversations with visitors, the same silences with his daughter, the same missed opportunities—again and again. As frustration turns to reflection, he begins to realise that what’s keeping him here isn’t fate, but something left unresolved.

Balancing dark humour with quiet tenderness, the film explores mortality and what it means to truly finish a life - and whether we ever really can.

An unexpectedly hopeful, life-affirming story about second chances and the vulnerability it takes to say what really matters—while there’s still time.
