A powerful and moving documentary about a woman with spina bifida, who is dying of cancer. Her friends admit she can be a difficult person at times and there are emotional issues between her and her family which must be resolved. Yet despite the seriousness of this subject, what are also shown are some of the transcendent qualities of the human spirit which emerge during a time of trial.
