MY LIFE WITHOUT ME (2003)

ISABEL COIXET

Plot

Ann is 23 with two young children, married to her high school love and, though life is poor and her job soulless, she is comfortable in the knowledge that there is still plenty of time to fulfil her dreams. A medical check-up, however, causes Ann's presumptions to collapse around her, but rather than wallow in self pity she decides to set about doing all the things she'd wanted, whilst putting in place a world for those she loves that will last long after the little time that is left to her. My Life Without Me is a beautiful and deeply moving story told with warmth and humour, it's impossible not to be touched and ultimately uplifted by this extraordinary individual.
