Battling terminal cancer, a woman writes a one of a kind notebook about life, death and love for her son to remember her by. Based on a true story.
Sinekatalog’s take
A dying woman fills a notebook with life lessons for her child, inspired by a true story. Tender, quiet and moving without much melodrama, from a director known for gentleness.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
