Parting Words

Parting Words
a film by Joe Balass

A young man is accompanied by his friends in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. The good looks of the paramedic distract them from the tension and awkwardness of not knowing what to say. As they arrive at the hospital, everyone is reminded that this may be their last goodbye.
