Director Vadim Jean has taken a difficult subject — terminal illness — and created a beautiful movie that manages to be moving without being too sentimental. It tells the story of single-minded Valerie Edmond, who returns from New York to her home town of Berwick-upon-Tweed to patch things up with her father (James Cosmo) before she dies of cancer. She also meets up with now-married old flame Gerard Butler and becomes friends with fellow sufferer Danny Nussbaum.

This little known film certainly gets my vote. The story line could be a little depressing but it is told and acted out with a little humour and great feeling. DEFinately worth watching .
I chose to rent this film based on others reviews and, after watching it, I now feel duty bound to write my first review to save others from a similar fate. I will not stretch this out with every word in the thesauras in order to prove my intellectual worth but believe me when I tell you that it is absolutely dreadful! The 2 main characters acting is wooden and cringingly unrealistic yet the minor characters are far more believable. A story that had potential but was completely miscast and doomed from the outset. Life really is too short to spend 2 hours on this drivel.
