This documentary is about a person (Jonny Kennedy) who suffers from a Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) - which means his skin literally falls off at the slightest touch. The documentary explored many different types of thought provoking topics, such as:
- Death and the preparation of death.
- euthanasia, assisted suicide
- The condition of EB
- suffering
- family and community
The Prime topic which was often discussed by Jonny Kennedy was death and the preparation of death. He does this from the very start of the documentary by having him at the end of the story in his coffin dead. His religious beliefs also have a part into his ability to cope through knowing death is underneath him.
