Nino

On a Friday morning, Nino attends a follow-up doctor’s appointment, where he is given some upsetting news that he has throat cancer. The treatment will start on Monday morning, but there is a high chance that it might leave him infertile, so the doctor tells him to consider freezing his sperm if there is a chance he might want children in the future. Shaken by the diagnosis - the day before his 29th birthday - and having never had to think about whether he wanted children before, an overwhelmed Nino leaves the hospital, not knowing what to do next. 

When he randomly bumps into an old school friend, who shakes something within him, he embarks on a journey of introspection. Over the course of the weekend, he traverses the streets of Paris, forced to come to terms with his life – past and present – and to reconnect with friends, his family and himself.
