Taylor is a woman, between 35 and 40 years old, married with a child. She and her husband live in a small town, hemmed in by mountains, forests. They love it there, for the nature, the people, the simplicity. They both work jobs to make ends meet, but it’s work. She is not afraid to work, do what is necessary for her family. She’s smart, has moxie, and loves going on hikes in nature. Between her working at diner (tbd job) and caring for her young child, she is starting to notice that she feels run down. A trip to her GP reveals that she has a serious illness that can only be treated in a far off city. Traveling there for treatments will be almost impossible to both afford and manage. If she doesn’t get the treatment, she might not make it. This is a concern. Hope Air is the solution. It flies her to and from the city free of charge. The treatment she receives is vital but a bit scary, so the plane becomes a place of refuge between her home, a place of comfort and solace, and the city, a place of discomfort and hardship. The arc of the treatment ultimately is successful, and we find her recollecting all she has been through on the final trip back home in the plane. The same mountains that prevented her from driving to the city for treatment, once beautiful, are returned to her in that way. The script is a recollection of her experience, from diagnosis, treatment, ups and downs, and back again.
