The story of two strangers redeeming each other. PHILIP, a rich man with endless money, is paralyzed and completely incapacitated. Dell, the father of a child, had just been released from prison penniless and was just looking for work for parole. Two people who should have nothing to do with each other meet.
P chose D at the beginning, I believe it was also the DNR mentioned in the film. P completely lost his expectations for life, so that the first thing he told this new life assistant was to let him die and not save him. Although D has a lot of criminal records, he is a person who should be said to be enthusiastic or optimistic. After spending a few days with P and listening to him tell his story, he began to be willing to take care of this person's life. Guilt for stealing a book? Gradually, D's optimism and cheerfulness also led to P, and his life began to be colorful.
Speaking of that pen pal Lily, I was very worried when I read it that she was a liar or had other plans. Fortunately, she is not. She is just an ordinary person. She has done a lot of homework and mental construction for this meeting, but she still cannot accept this reality. She is an ordinary person. Even I think she is better than many ordinary people, be honest, although sometimes it hurts people, it is not necessarily a bad thing in the long run.
A very touching movie, you can't let life defeat you.
