Content

In 2006, 25-year-old established film-maker Jason DaSilva collapsed on a beach while on holiday, months after his diagnosis for multiple sclerosis. Realizing that his condition could no longer be ignored, he decided to produce a documentary. The film focuses on the changes in his relationships with his mother and partner as his condition develops.

DaSilva's story has since been expanded with a 2019 documentary sequel entitled When We Walk.
