THEODORE IS DYING

Theodore is Dying is a dark and comic tale of death and rebirth in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The film chronicles the lives of four characters at a crossroad of reclaiming their lost hope or succumbing to despair in the wake of their respective tragedies.

Theodore, 70, has lost his dignity and his ability to sustain his self as he struggles to recover from the death of his wife. His only grandson Clair, 25, gets thrown off his own life trajectory when his long term girlfriend suddenly leaves him for a cook at a diner.

Renee, only 17, must grow up quickly and subsume the role of primary caregiver as she nurses her junkie mother through heroine withdrawal.

And finally, Donald, a fallen children’s television idol turned meth addict has lost everything, including a home.

Fumbling in the din of their dwindling prospects, what they find is that sometimes the conclusion of one life just might simply be the beginning of another.
