Doctor

On US Independence Day, 1996, Taiwanese-American 13-year-old genius Felix posted a puzzling notice on the door of his bedroom. Three hours later, he had ended his own life. Devasteted, his father, Dr. Wen, left Iowa City, his home of twenty years, and moved to Miami. Though the sunny, warm clime and passage of time have distanced him from the traumatic experience, his grief and perplexity linger. Six years after Felix's death, a boy from Peru, Sabastian, comes to receive treatment for cancer from Dr. Contrast to Wen. Sabastian's optimism brings a new perspective to Dr. Wen. Through the stories of the two adolescents and Dr. Wen's loving concern for them, the documentary portrays with touching compassion of the transcience, struggles, mysteriousness and preciousness of life.
