Ann collapses in her trailer. She then goes to a hospital and is told she is going to die. In an attempt to spare her family, doctor, friends and estranged father the grief of watching her die, she decides to hide her impending death and instead live life to the fullest away from the hospital. Although she puts on a brave face, she does break down and cry a couple of times, which may upset some viewers. The people Ann knew, especially Lee (a romantic fling) and Dr. Thompson (who she has tasked with giving her friends and family prerecorded tapes of her words to them), are shown alone and in various states of grief. Lee cries as he paints his empty apartment. Dr. Thompson locks himself alone in his office and then neatly sorts all of Ann's tapes.
