Young and athletic Sydney Harris finds out that she has six months to live unless she and her husband can come up with the money for her medical treatment. Sounds simple enough; get the money, save her life. But her underpaid, working class husband can't afford the treatment. And time is ticking away. As Sydney begins to seek out a means to save her life, she begins to question her existence and does some soul searching, only to find herself falling in love with a single mom in the neighborhood that Sydney and her family have just moved into. Sydney is then forced to choose between her religious upbringing, her husband and son, and a love that she hides, all while fighting a losing battle to save her own life.

I felt this movie was moving because it's like a life story of a woman with cancer. It was sad that she didn't have enough money to beat the cancer. Corey was trying his best in saving up the money for her even though didn't have enough in his pocket. It's so sad that she wasn't happy with him like OK he goes off a lot and fights for the country. Jane was very supportive of Sydney in what she was going through with the illness. Corey was too but Sydney didn't give him the chance. I hated the scene that took place in Sydneys funeral in which he shouldve acted like an adult and shouldve said something to Jane beforehand otherwise he wouldn't need to cause a scene.Good film this is, prepare the handkerchiefs!
I'm independently studying script writing,and journalism, and not for some academic credit or academic cause. I have read interviews with Nitara Lee Osbourne, the script writer & eventual film director, and post production interviews with Kathleen Benner. Full credit to Nitara for exploring her own life experiences, and with her creative character writing skills, creating a script worth producing. The cast was great, Nitara went by her instincts in casting both Sydney & Jane, with a fantastic result despite long days filming and a few hurdles in securing the perfect scene locations, taking her time to get the perfect match, the girls even spent some time together pre-production, giving them time to get close and form a bond, producing the necessary chemistry that shines throughout their story. I watched the film twice, as I missed a few subtle things the first time around. The music was fine, there were a few what if's, and I was left at the end, staring into space, blankly reading the credits, grateful for the ones that genuinely love me. It could have done with, "A little light of love", by Eric Serra, over the credits, and I give it 8/10 for it's truth on life & love. Well Done.
They make you think its a soft-porn erotic lesbian movie. First scenes in the movies, you see kids in themovies. There's family roles. Then the blonde you see scars on one of her arms, like she had a burn accident. there's a scene where the brunette gets diagnosed for cancer. The husband is having turmoil over not earning enough to pay for his wife's treatments. Later in the movie as I FAST FORWARDED, I see the brunette wife talking about god and religion. Like somebody else said, who the hell was this movie made for? its a bag of carrot sticks in a hostess cupcake box. this whole movie is a low budget fraud. a FRAUD!! no sexiness or eroticism in this movie. Its a bunch of religious pondering, religious pandering, a bunch of psychological profiling.
Paying attention to a film, a story and an experience like this can work wonders on what it is you look for in your idea of entertainment.The story weighs you down. A lot going on with our lead couple. Some problems I can relate to. Money problems, stress and being married in general. More stress, more stress and more stress. Makes sense when a couple of other things come into play. A family dealing with cancer is something that can be devastating. There is no "what if" there. Relating to most of the above is like waking up every morning.Now what if someone else, a threat, enters your situation and makes it worse? Another woman on the verge of taking away your wife, your family, your life as you once knew it.It can get worse and it does get worse.Sidney didn't know what she was getting into. Her fate wasn't meant to be, but it's as if she was almost set up to find herself in this situation. She had enough pain in her life. Everything she went through, what if she enjoyed it that much until the very end? Corey did everything he could to help. Or did he? What if he did more? Of course he could have done more. Jane doesn't get anything. She doesn't get one ounce of pity from me. What if Jane lived on a different street. What would have happened to this family that already had enough to deal with on a daily basis? I loved the acting. The music was a little all over the place. Very independent. Good movie.
