Summary

"Heaven Through the Backdoor" explores identity, judgment, and spirituality through the experience of Swiss emigre Yo (Yolanda Shae), a fiercely independent 88-year old woman who we meet as she prepares for her next great adventure: death. The project juxtaposes intimate documentary footage of the last year of Yo's life with cinematic interpretations of her stories. The film highlights the enduring power of friendship and what we learn from each other in life and through death.
