An assignment to film a funeral speech turns into a meeting with a man who has chosen to forego cancer treatment in order to direct his own ending and deliver a final speech. During filming, a rare bond emerges between those documenting death and the one facing it. Bo & talet is an unpretentious, warm, and humorous portrait of the inevitable, and a tender reminder that life doesn’t always follow a script. Winner of the Doc Lounge award for Best Documentary at Frame Film Festival.
