Going gently

Description

Two men, one a salesman, the other a professor, share a hospital room. They share, too, the knowledge that both of them are dying of cancer. This is a story about death, and at the same time it is an affirmation of life. It is a study of men forced to face the fact of their own mortality. As the days pass each man sees, mirrored in the wasting body of the other, his own death. And yet they cling to humanity in the face of death and are the greater for it.
