THE PLOT
A grieving mother struggles to cope with the death of her son Sam aged 8yrs. He was killed in a tragic plane accident. With him were 5 more children also killed. All she has left how are the memories of her son. But she doesn't really believe that they are dead and that something is not quite right. She is treated as though she is going mad and insane.
MY OPINION
I found the story very gripping. It shows how someone trying to cope with grief of losing a child can be so determined to found out what really happened.
She goes to see a psychiatrist to talk about what she feels and help her to cope with the sad loss. But she is so sure its not happened. The psychiatrists tells her she lost the baby at birth and she has never had an 8yr son. But how can you have memories of something that does not exist. Her husband is supporting her through this rough time. Or is he. I found my my engrossed in this film and ended in tears. The film has a few twists in it but Im not going tell you. You will have to watch it for yourself.
I would recommend this to anyone but make sure you have box of tissues when you watch it. I think its more of a womans film then a family viewing film. As some scenes are a little to much.
