User Reviews

beautiful movie

This movie is about overcoming, it's a wonderful movie.

It's one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life.

I believe that everyone should watch and understand a little more about other difficulties that affect other people, it is a matter of tact, empathy and living a little the life of those who suffer from multiple sclerosis.

The film involves drama, love, family and a magnificent story about people who overcome their obstacles.
