Here is the official synopsis:Come See Me in the Good Light is a poignant and unexpectedly funny love story about poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley facing an incurable cancer diagnosis with joy, wit and an unshakable partnership. Through laughter and unwavering love, they transform pain into purpose, and mortality into a moving celebration of resilience.

In interviews they describe how they met, what poetry and performing mean to them, and how living with illness has altered their day-to-day lives. We spend time with the lovers at home with their dogs and are present for intimate exchanges as they experience setbacks and successes. Andrea works toward performing a live show, even as treatments threaten to silence their voice. As Meg authors a new book, the pair share their writing with one another. (Full Frame)

POV Magazine calls the film ‘deeply moving,’ writing, “Ryan White’s exceptional documentary Come See Me in the Good Light completely rewrites the script on queer heartbreak. To call it deeply moving is an understatement.”
