Overview

This uplifting comedy drama centres on Zenhya who’s thrilled to unexpectedly receive the all-clear from terminal cancer, yet the happiest day of her life quickly turns into a disaster. Her boyfriend doesn't waste time and dumps her on the spot. At work, everyone is more irritated to see her alive than happy to see her back. And her younger sister Sonya, self-obsessed Insta-Queen, won't let go of the income she created from online fundraising for Zhenya's treatment. She’s had enough – until she finds an old notebook she started when she was first diagnosed. In it: a bucket list full of 257 wishes – small and silly, epic and complex, grounded and ambitious. The plan: do everything on the list.
