Summary

0 Reviews | 96 pages | 2 years ago | Draft 2
Forgive Me is a psychological drama about loss, grief, mental health in men, anxiety, depression, drug abuse, and the importance of therapy. It’s also about the divine feminine, unconditional love, forgiveness, friendship, family, the pursuit of happiness, kindness, and sensitivity.



We begin with our protagonist, Paul, telling his sister and best friend that he has advanced metastatic prostate cancer and has two weeks to live.



We follow Paul over the next two weeks as he tackles uncomfortable situations while battling with a traumatic experience from his past, shown to us, the audience, through a series of flashbacks.



We also join Paul through a series appointments with his therapist Dr. Manning. It is through these sessions that we learn about how our protagonist thinks. About his worries and concerns about life.



Paul's ultimate goal and inner need is to gain peace and forgiveness from an ex-lover after her younger brother drowns in his care.
