The founder of Maggie's cancer centres was asked to make life changing decisions in environments that were distracting. She felt the environments were unsuitable to be able to absorb all the information given to her and this is why she believed there is a link between designed space, healing and the way we absorb information. Maggie's centres are a haven, where anyone affected by cancer can go when they need that specially designed space. The film has represented this juxtaposition of calm next to busy everyday environments.
