Under Construction: Saint Vitus’ Dance
Famous art historian, Gregory Collins, suffering from Huntington’s Disease, tracks down the only doctor in the world rumored to have found a cure – his former lover – who, disgraced from the medical profession, has vowed never to release her findings. Over the course of a long weekend, secrets from the past are revealed, old sparks are rekindled, and loyalties are put to the test…. ultimately asking the question “What price are we willing to pay for more time to live?”
