synopsis
Life story of Spaniard Ramón Sampedro, who fought a 30-year campaign to win the right to end his life with dignity. Film explores Ramón’s relationships with two women: Julia, a lawyer who supports his cause, and Rosa, a local woman who wants to convince him that life is worth living. Through the gift of his love, these two women are inspired to accomplish things they never previously thought possible. Despite his wish to die, Ramón taught everyone he encountered the meaning, value and preciousness of life. Though he could not move himself, he had an uncanny ability to move others.

But hang on for this riveting true story of Ramon Sampedro (Javier Bardem), the Spanish sailor who ruptured his spine in a diving accident at twenty-six and spends the next thirty years being cared for on his family's farm in Galicia. What could have been a preachy biopic becomes poetry in the hands of the gifted director and writer and editor and composer…
