NECTAR

  • Danique Jaspers

When is enough, enough? Facing prolonged suffering, a young, terminally ill woman bravely decides to take control over her own life and arranges herself a peculiar yet delicious meal. Nectar (2019) is an all-female production about a young, terminally ill woman facing her final days. The filmmakers – both having seen a loved one being encouraged by doctors and family to suffer through life-prolonging treatments – urge viewers to reflect upon the end-of-life-dilemma that many of us will have to tackle someday: how much of your health and life-quality would you sacrifice in an attempt to stretch time? When does one stop being alive and merely exist?
