Documentary film Can You Stay?
(Ikke slipp meg)

Can you stay? takes an intimate look into the everyday lives of three young adults, caring for their sick loved ones. The film shows how simple steps can strengthen the relationship. Anders (18), Thyra (30) and Nora (20) are all young and cope with their role differently. Through a writing course at the Next of Kin Center in Oslo, they meet others in a similar situation. What is it like to be young and not lose yourself while caring for your dearest ones?
