When Jacob is diagnosed with cancer that requires him to have a bone marrow transplant and isolate in a hospital room for six weeks, he has a choice to make: he can let his own anxiety and loneliness eat him up inside, or he can try and create something out of this experience. Seeing as how cancer is already trying to eat him, he decides to make a film - this film. Exploring friendship, loneliness, fear, banality and the unexpected humour in the situation, this is an honest and surprising documentary that poses the question: how does adversity affect creativity?
