What keeps the family together? Nick Cassavetes, the director of The Notebook and John Q, proves once again how confidently he can handle stories about the depth of human emotions in this film about a loving family tested - and crushed - by the illness of a child. Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Alec Baldwin and other members of the exceptional cast bring to life with great feeling the story of 11-year-old Anna Fitzgerald, who is supposed to be a donor for her sick sister, but eventually begins to demand the right to make decisions about her own body. This act of free will may tear the Fitzgeralds apart—or be the first step toward a triumphant understanding of the devotion, dignity, and meaning of family.
