Synopsis

Brad Pitt stars in this touching story about a young American searching for the cure to a rare skin disease that will kill him if he is exposed to light. In a small town on the Adriatic, a local healer has provided him with a cure but its a cure that can only last for three days. Realizing that this may be his only chance to break free from the prison of his illness, Rick decides to live those three days to the fullest. Rick finds respite in the form of a young American girl. Together they fall in love, knowing that the love can never last beyond three days. Yet each secretly hopes for a miracle, a miracle which may never come.
