LOG LINE A dying man’s search for respite collides with the existential and the spiritual as he awakens to his final epiphany.
SYNOPSIS 27,000 DAYS is an innovative and fragmented narrative about a dying man and his disintegrated relationship with his family, his faith, and even his own cultural identity. Suffering from an incurable brain tumor, the man writes a final letter to his estranged son – a burning confessional. As he puts words to paper, the man’s advancing illness forces him to confront buried moments from his life: the rift between father and son, acts of intimate betrayal, the painful aftermath of unspeakable violence – impressions of the harrowing and the poignant. Casual and momentous events are connected through expressive faces, stark imagery, and rhythmic editing. And the foreboding specter of disease – with its corrosive relentlessness – pervades through the film as both literal and metaphoric deterioration. Ultimately, the man’s search for respite collides with the existential and even the spiritual, as he awakens to his final epiphany.
