Synopsis

At age 34, Marie finds out she has an incurable form of cancer. Her very first thought is for her youngest son: “I don’t have any memories of my parents when I was three years old. Will my son remember anything about me?” Marie decides to fight her cancer, enduring the physical and mental pain of chemotherapy so that she can “make memories” for her children and loved ones. For six months we shared Marie’s condensed life, capturing her ups and downs, her fears and hopes, and her endless lust for life. “Marie, the Cancer Tamer” is a film told from a first-person perspective about living with a sense of urgency, a journey alongside the loving mother of two children who remains more alive and vibrant than ever in the face of death.
