Chemo Brain

Oliver is 28 years old. He spends his time studying, hanging out with friends and he just started dating Signe. But a scanning at the hospital turns everything upside down for Oliver. What he thought was just a lower back pain turns out to be testicular cancer.
Oliver’s main concern is essentially all the things he may loose: Signe, his friends and worst case; his life. Assisted by his best friend Emil and his father, Oliver tries to continue life as it was before the diagnosis. However, Oliver soon finds out how challenging it can be to stay cheerful and keep high hopes for a disease-free future. Oliver’s fear and frustration increases while life goes on outside the walls of the hospital.
