Dancer and choreographer, Dave St-Pierre is acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, and his innovative and subversive pieces have toured Europe. However, the vulnerability of his body catches up with him. Dave St-Pierre, 34, has cystic fibrosis. The average life expectancy is 37 years and doctors give him only two years to live if he does not receive a lung transplant. Under the sign of urgency, his friend and accomplice, the director and actress Brigitte Poupart, plunges us into the daily life of the man who, at any moment, hopes for a call from the doctor. Linked by art and friendship, the two offer each other a space at the centre of which creation emerges as a vital gesture.

Refusing taboos and thwarting an announced end, Over My Dead Body is a fascinating diary, which combines the testimonies of his loved ones and the main achievements of the creator.

Film is in French with English subtitles.
