Synopsis

Milly (Madeline Stowe) is successful in her job, has a wonderful marriage and great kids when she starts noticing that something is not quite right with her health. She notices tremors, and she and her husband go to see the first of several doctors.

This movie gives a glimpse of one woman's meeting with Parkinsons; the medication, the operations, leaving the home she loves, fighting for research funding, watching her brain and body slowly withering away. It is also a tribute to determination, affection and dedication. Molly embraces life even as it slips through her fingers and with the total support of her family.
