Intriguing premise ... If you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life?
After a psychic gives siblings (Varya, Daniel, Klara, and Simon) their dates of death, their lives are forever changed.
If you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life?
Would you be more careful with your decisions ... or more reckless? This premise was intriguing and follows the Gold family in NYC as they grapple with the psychic's revelation. Imagine being only 13, 11, 9, and 7 when a stranger tells you that you will die on a specific date. For some of them, the date is decades into the future, but for others, the impending doom is much sooner.
My take away: Live life fearlessly. Embrace and enjoy the little things. Don't be afraid to love and be loved. "I love you all, I love you all, I love you all." - Klara and Ruby
Members of the Gold family:
*Saul - father, owner of Gold's Tailor and Dressmaking shop, died at age 45
*Gertie - mother, forced to move on after losing a spouse
*Varya - the obedient eldest, studied molecular biology, scientist studying how to improve quality of later life
*Daniel - military veteran, doctor who determines if a soldier is fit for service, married Mira, no kids
*Klara - magician/illusionist, married Raj, daughter Ruby
*Simon - unburdened youngest, gay man living in 1980s San Francisco
