Description
Based on the true story of Spaniard Ramón Sampedro (Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem “No Country for Old Men,” “Before Night Falls”), who fought a 30-year campaign to win the right to end his life with dignity. Film explores Ramón's relationships with two women: Julia (Belén Rueda “The Orphanage,” “Retruc”), a lawyer who supports his cause, and Rosa (Lola Dueñas “Volver,” “Talk to Her”), a local woman who wants to convince him that life is worth living. Through the gift of his love, these two women are inspired to accomplish things they never previously thought possible. Despite his wish to die, Ramón taught everyone he encountered the meaning, value and preciousness of life. Though he could not move himself, he had an uncanny ability to move others.
