A heartfelt yet humorous exploration of love, depression, and the lengths we go to for those we love. Through the eyes of a six-year-old, a list of “brilliant things” is created to lift the spirits of a mother struggling with depression. From “Ice cream” and “Water fights” to “Peeing in the ocean and nobody knows,” the list grows, transforming into a surprisingly touching and comedic tribute to the joy that life can offer. With humor, tenderness, and moments of raw honesty, Every Brilliant Thing delivers an unforgettable message about resilience, connection, and finding light even in the darkest moments.
