Based on the acclaimed graphic novel memoir, this intimate drama follows Marisa Acocella, a vibrant and successful New York cartoonist whose life is upended by a shocking diagnosis just as she is about to marry the love of her life. With her trademark wit and artistic eye, Marisa navigates the terrifying world of hospitals and treatment, grappling with fear, vanity, and her own mortality, all while trying to plan a wedding. The film, written by Julie Delpy, paints a raw and surprisingly humorous portrait of a woman fighting to reclaim her story, using her art as both a weapon and a refuge. As she confronts the disease head-on, Marisa’s journey becomes a powerful testament to love, resilience, and the defiant spirit of a true "vixen" who refuses to let cancer define her.
