My Life Without Me

“What you are… is what you leave behind.”

Ann (Sarah Polley), a 23-year-old mother of two girls, is told she has two months to live, and she tells no one, not even her husband Don (Scott Speedman). Instead she sits down and writes a list of things she wants to do before the time runs out. Isabel Coixet keeps the camera close on Polley's face, so the secret is carried in small, quiet looks.
