Through her creativity, Chelli courageously processes the difficult loss of her best friend and sister. She doesn't grow bitter; she becomes powerful as she learns to forgive. The film is beautifully shot. It's reflective. It's gracious to the viewer by not lingering on the trauma of loss, but actively encourages the viewer to move as the sun rises and falls each day.
