Mr. Cortisone, Happy Days

Synopsis

The isolation room, where he stays for radioactive-iodine
treatment, becomes an inspiring cinematic location for
the director who is a cancer patient. Moving constantly
in-front and behind the camera, he is convinced of the
power of art to control and bring a happy end to his story.
Hope is shuttered with the discovery of new aggressive
tumors in his spine. While waiting for a series of
operation in New York City, the director receives large
doses of cortisone. His stream of thoughts turn into
hyper-conscious flood, and the camera becomes his
close and intimate companion. Shlomi Shir realizes he is
being sentenced to die on the operating table. He
decides to leave the hospital, overdosed with cortisone
and tranquilizers and lets his soul free.
