Plot

In the whirlwind of impending nuptials, a couple finds themselves at the precipice of a life-altering revelation. Faith, the bride-to-be, harbors a secret - a ruthless inheritance of sickle-cell anemia. This secret has remained unshared with her fiancé, Norman, due to an interplay of timing and fear, despite the ticking countdown to their wedding. Living a health-focused lifestyle, Faith has been successful in masking her battle with the disease, holding on to the notion that love itself might be her ultimate cure. However, the shadow of her mother's early death due to the same disease looms large, a haunting reminder of the pain it can inflict. The last thing she wants is to subject Norman to the ordeal her father had to endure. As the pressure of their imminent wedding mounts, the hidden illness begins to rear its ugly head, causing Faith distressing bouts of pain. In response, she distances herself from Norman, a move that prompts her sister to unveil Faith's secret to him. Stricken with betrayal and confusion, Faith calls off the wedding. Norman is left grappling with his own emotions and commitment after a profound conversation with Faith's father about the weight of loving someone with a chronic illness. In Sickness and in Health paints a heartrending portrait of love on trial, as Faith and Norman grapple with their fears. Will they find the strength to embrace love, accept the sacrifices it demands, and proceed with their wedding plans? The film leaves viewers on the edge, questioning the depths and resilience of love in the face of adversity.
