24th March 2005

This film is about the cross-roads of life where you are faced with two choices – follow your dreams, keep your ambitions, gamble everything and hope you come out winning big or, jack it all in and take the less challenging option – safety, security, a job with an income.

The central character in this film however has the choice taken away – she has to give up on dreams to look after her family, but she doesn’t give up hope for the people she loves most in life.

This self-sacrified stance does not lead to a happy times ahead for the heroine - just little thanks, a downward spiral in health and a hellish outcome all round

A powerful film, probing real issues in life – something completeley different.
