So first I have to say, I really enjoyed this film. It is really really good and I definitely suggest you watch it. It is very sad though so if you don't want to watch a sad film, come back later when you do want to. Because you're going to watch this.
Anyway:
Three girls celebrate New Years together in a cancer ward. They all have had recent developments in their cancer so they must stay at the ward while most of the other patients are at home with their parents. The three girls become great friends and swap stories of what it is like to cope with their disease. A hospital is what you make of it- it can be very depressing or it can be a new, great adventure to a better life and better relationships.

Lots more shorts
Hello whoever reads this. I'm really sorry I haven't posted as regularly as I wanted to. I have a lot of really good shorts saved on to my external hard drive that I haven't put on here yet so I'm going to be doing that. I'll probably post much more than one a day for a while. So, yeah. Enjoy.
