The movie is based on a true story. Film producer Jonathan Cavendish made the film to honor his amazing parents. It tells the story of Jonathan's father, Robin Cavendish, who was stricken with polio at age 28 but went on to live a rich life. And Robin's wife is always there by his side.

After Robin contracted polio, he was told by his doctors that he would live perhaps only three months. Then he was told that he would spend whatever time he had in a hospital bed.

Hearing this, Robin wanted to die. But his wife told him he had to live to see their son grow up. So he went on living. His wife knew he wanted to escape from the hospital and be treated at home, and she did all she can to help him.

So he left the hospital to live at home, helped develop a wheelchair with a respirator so he could leave the house. And he even very often traveled with his wife, Diana, and son, and lived for 36 more years.

I've accepted the risk of dying. I don't want to just survive. I want to truly live.

“我接受可能会死的风险。我不想只是活着，我想真正地活着。”

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
