This film is based on
a true story. Dr. Anne Turner is
married and she has three children, two daughters and a son. She has just lost her husband to a
neurological disease that left him totally incapacitated. Soon after he passes away, she is
diagnosed with the same condition.
She can’t believe it, the doctor can’t believe it and her children cannot
either. She begins falling down,
she can’t take care of her house and she knows what is coming. She just wants to die peacefully before
she can’t do anything anymore. Her
children do not what her to die either naturally from the disease or by
suicide. They want her to live
regardless.
This is a very
touching story and more so since it is true. It was devastating for the family to lose their
husband/father and then to see their mother experience the same illness seemed unbelievable. It is more magnifying since Anne is a
doctor and she has also witnessed first hand her husbands experience with this
disease. Relatable characters and
good acting. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
