Paper Flowers – Special Presentation
The Memorial Society of British Columbia is pleased to present an exclusive screening of Paper Flowers.
Based on an incredible true story, Shalin Shah, an ambitious USC graduate, leaves behind his loving Indian-American family, and devoted Taiwanese-American girlfriend, Fiona, to pursue his dream of making a difference as a Peace Corps volunteer. However, his life takes a devastating turn when a check-up for a lingering cough reveals a shocking diagnosis: a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Forced to return home and undergo treatment, Shalin confronts the fundamental question: what is the true meaning of life when faced with limited time? Paper Flowers is a poignant and inspirational journey of love, loss, and hope. It serves as a roadmap to cherish the moments we have and to remember to stop and enjoy every sunset.
