Synopsis
This Life is an honest, warm-hearted series about a contemporary Montreal family whose life is overturned from one day to the next. The story focuses on Natalie Lawson: she’s a successful journalist in her early forties, and a single mother of three. Stricken with incurable cancer, she must help her family prepare for the future while still trying to live fully in the present. Natalie can count on the support of her two brothers, her sister and her parents, who make up an imperfect but united family. With smiles and with tears, This Life explores the joys and the anguish of existence. A deeply human story.
