In Anat Gov’s Happy Ending “To be or not to be” is not the question. The question is how to be. Anat Gov does the unthinkable: making a comedy out of cancer.
After a life in the spotlight, stage star Carrie Evans must face reality as she arrives at her first chemotherapy session after being diagnosed with cancer. There to start a series of treatments to prolong
her life, Carrie’s encounters with her fellow patients makes her rethink what it means to die and more importantly, to die well.
