AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the last days of her battle with cancer, Marta remains cheerful and determined to live life to the fullest. With the help of Anna, a visiting nurse who has become her closest friend, Marta resists pressure from her son Jonathon to move to a home. Despite her illness, Marta takes care of her infirm neighbour Billy, whose relatives never visit. She also provides a place where Anna can see her lover Peter in secret. When Marta is hospitalised after a serious fall, Anna and Jonathan join forces to get her home. This event also causes Anna to make a serious decision.'
