André is a brilliant idiot who is dying because he didn’t get a colonoscopy. His sobering diagnosis, complete irreverence, and insatiable curiosity send him on an unexpected journey learning how to die happily and ridiculously without losing his sense of humor. After all, if he’s going to die, he reckons, he’s going to enjoy dying as much as he possibly can.This intimate, offbeat portrait follows the three years Ricciardi, an innovative, out-of-the-box advertising creative director, spent living with colonic cancer: both a candid treatment diary and a fresh, close-up character study of an unusual personality colored by his peculiar and unyielding look at life.
