Time is what you make of it? Apparently, no. Times does strange things to you. It makes you eat three times a day - even if you're tricked into thinking one day was 48 hours.

An intense film portrait of Philip Gould, as he is facing death within weeks. The sentence that stuck with me since I've seen this piece: "Suddenly, life screams at you".
