Declaration of War 2011

     Romeo and Juliette have a young son who has always seemed to have difficulties.  He cried a lot when he was a newborn, he's 18 months old and not walking, he can't keep his food down a lot of times.  The parents begin to get very worried, their pediatrician recommends a CAT scan because there seems to be a swelling on one side of his face and lack of symmetry.  The scan shows he has a tumor and he needs a MRI to see if it can be removed.  They find out Adam has cancer, he starts treatments.  All of the tumor could not be removed by the surgery and it's not spreading and but it's not the type of tumor they thought.  It's a more aggressive and fast growing tumor so he needs a different treatment.
     The parents really do all they can, sell their apartment and move into a wing of the hospital.  They are broke but trying to remain positive that this will turn out well.  I'm not sure if it's cultural difference but I could not connect with the characters?  3* (This movie is OK)
