Is Now a Good Time

When teenage Theo survives a suicide attempt, his fiercely loving mother refuses to let him slide further into despair. Instead, she drags him across Europe on a journey from the Italian coast to a monastery in the French countryside.

Years later, grief continues to ripple through the family. Theo battles addiction, love, and the possibility of becoming a father. His sister Mona builds a perfect life in Canada while carrying the weight of the family she left behind. Across decades, their lives circle questions of inheritance, mental illness, memory and whether the stories we tell ourselves can keep us alive.

Sweeping and deeply compassionate, Is Now a Good Time explores the fragility of family, the echo of trauma across generations, and the stubborn daily work of choosing life. Both family saga and invocation of hope, it asks what we owe one another — and what makes a life worth continuing.
