Jack and Jill Focus share a 14 year marriage as cancer tightens its grip. Surgeons removed two thirds of a tumor while Jack, given 6 to 12 months, keeps painting through pain, nausea, and loss of speech. Jill caretakes and teaches, insisting on facing life’s small treasures together.
The artist Jack Focus draws vivid colors and a painterly style after surgery. His wife Jill reflects on his nearing end and anticipatory grief as his work gains recognition and hangs with masters like Picasso and Miro.
