"Beautiful Something Left Behind" is a documentary film that captures the intimate journey of a group of children in New Jersey as they navigate the process of grief. The Good Grief community, a support group for children dealing with loss, provides them a safe space to express their emotions and cope with the death of loved ones.
Throughout the course of a year, the film follows the lives of six children: Kimmy, Nicky, Peter, Nora, Nolan, and Mikayla. Each child has their unique story and experiences with grief, but they all share a common companion: the unrelenting presence of loss.
The documentary showcases the weekly meetings at Good Grief, where the children engage in various therapeutic activities. In the "volcano room," the children are encouraged to release their anger and frustration, providing a cathartic outlet for their emotions. Additionally, in the "hospital room," they are given the opportunity to say goodbye to a dying teddy bear patient, allowing them to process their feelings of sorrow and acceptance.
Through their open and curious minds, the children ask thought-provoking questions about life and death, providing poignant and heartwarming moments. The audience witnesses both the heartbreak and humor that coexist within these children as they grapple with the concept of loss.
While grief is portrayed as an immense and burdensome mountain in their lives, the film emphasizes that it also offers understanding and acceptance. The children, with the support of their Good Grief community, learn that death is an irreversible part of life and find ways to honor their loved ones' memories while moving forward.
