Abstract:
This film depicts a fictional American family, watched over by the spirit of a deceased doctor. The family members have varying opinions on the importance of healthcare, which the doctor’s ghost comments on. Some of the family visits their local clinic for regular check-ups to prevent illness, while others are more resistant to the importance of doing so.
