Calvin is an ordinary but not ordinary boy. He is 19 years old and works as a luggage porter with his father and brother at the airport. Unusually, he was suspected of having testicular cancer and joined a cancer mutual aid group on the doctor's advice, where he met Skye, a girl with terminal cancer who had been abandoned by the doctor.

She seems rude and uninhibited, and she is naturally familiar, which makes Calvin, who has always been introverted and shy, at a loss.

Somehow, calvin agreed to complete her bucket list with skye.

This girl is eccentric and imaginative, and her enthusiasm makes calvin let go of his defenses and relax himself. calVin helps skye complete her odd list in his own awkward but sincere way, going to jail together, stealing things together, selling fried chicken and hot dogs together, fencing by the fountain, getting the phone number of your favorite boy .

Both of them are changing unknowingly.

It turned out that calvin didn't have cancer, just because he and his twin sister were in a car accident when he was eight years old in a car driven by his mother, he survived but the sister died, and since then the mother stopped talking and trapped himself in guilt , and he also wondered if his mother would be better off if he died too. This idea tortured him from the age of 9 to the age of 19. He was full of despair in life, and even went to college for only one semester. Be a luggage porter and get by.

Then, skye said:

Skye and Calvin are both lonely. Skye has cancer and can't experience the normal life that a normal teenager should lead. Her friends are estranged from her because of cancer, and her parents are worried about her all day long. Calvin harbors guilt toward his mother and his sister (even though he has done nothing wrong), disgust with himself and the world, and face the incomprehension of his father and brother, and self-exile. Then you came and they met. then came YOU, this you refers to both calvin and skye, they are each other's redemption, in getting along slowly, skye has company in the last days of life, and calvin is facing this strong, optimistic and kind girl At the time, he gradually became brave, and was touched by SKYE's life burning like fire and his love for the world.

Time passes by day by day, and the last day is approaching day by day. calvin is still helping skye with her new bucket list.

calVin personally made a coffin for his best friend. Seeing this, I really burst into tears. What kind of mood did Calvin have to bid farewell to his best friend? Skye has always been strong and optimistic in the face of cancer, and has never shed a single tear. However, as she approached the coffin, she hugged calvin and cried. It turned out that death was really so close, it turned out that I was really going to die. I don't want to die, I don't want to leave my family and friends, I don't want to leave the world I love.

calvin found believers of different religions for skye and asked them to give skye a final hug

Let izzy, a flight attendant who travels around the world, show skye the pictures she has taken about the world

Reconcile with broken friends, reconcile with yourself, reconcile with the world

It's coming, it's coming

skye's last wish

skye is very upset that calvin never had a birthday since he was 8 years old. One day after skye's death, calvin received a dozen letters, and skye made up a birthday card for every birthday of calvin from the age of 9 to 19, and wrote full of blessings. This is full of love and remorse from your best friend. I'm sorry, I can't spend every birthday with you in the future, but I believe that someone will come to you. I mend all your previous birthdays, and I hope to mend your broken heart. Cheer up, be brave, my friend, there's still so much good in this world for you to love

small tip

SKYE calvin met for the second time, skye came to the airport, there is a goldfish in the infusion bag in the upper right corner of the picture

Only skye can do such weird and cute things

Calvin has been keeping this goldfish. In the second half of the film, when Skye stayed at Calvin's house, the goldfish was swimming in a fish tank on the table.

in addition,

At the airport where calvin works, he fell in love at first sight with a beautiful flight attendant, IZZY, who also had a different feeling for him. She loves taking pictures, and secretly photographed the back of Calvin sitting alone in the waiting hall. She is beautiful, empathetic, and pays attention to her inner self. She is a very beautiful person.

At the beginning, Calvin was timid and didn't dare to tell Izzy what he liked, or Skye asked Izzy to go out to watch a movie. Gradually, they made progress. Izzy knew that Calvin was working at the airport but had never been on a plane, so he deliberately smuggled Calvin into a parked plane to let him experience the feeling of an airplane. However, Izzy always misunderstood that Calvin also had cancer, so Calvin was afraid to tell the truth. When the truth finally came out, Izzy also got angry and left.

The reason why this paragraph is inserted in the middle is to see the influence of skye on calvin through the change of calvin's attitude towards this relationship, because skye, calvin has become a braver person. At the end of the movie, Calvin finally bought a plane ticket, overcame his fear, boarded the plane to go to college, and izzy and izzy also exchanged a smile to resolve the misunderstanding.
