This film poster is composed to focus on the three main female protagonists. The central maternal figure is flanked by a younger, spirited character on the left and another character implied to have cancer by wearing a hat or scarf on the right. The simple, light blue and white color palette and costumes are meant to draw attention to the emotions of the characters and focus on the themes of family and love between sisters. The poster aims to challenge conventions by portraying the main characters, Ellie and Sam, and explore how cancer affects one's psychological state of wanting to remain a child but being forced to have adult strength.
