這是一部沒有攝製隊的紀錄片：患有漸凍人症的Kathryn只能利用眼球控制發聲設備來「說話」，她讓兒子在輪椅上安裝攝錄機，並由兒子及影片製作人把900多小時的錄像，剪輯成74分鐘的影片。殘疾者的日常視角，是丈夫的不耐煩、家人間的衝突。兒女的成長是她活着的唯一理由；在女兒的婚禮後，她寫下了遺書⋯⋯
「我只希望和喜歡我的人和平相處。」Kathryn的唯一願望，簡單得令人心碎。
Years with ALS have left Kathryn paralyzed and needing 24-hour care. With her mind intact and having opted for mechanical breathing, she could live like this indefinitely. But the situation has embittered and alienated her husband Said, and proved too much for many nurses and aides. The disease has also been a destructive force complicating relations between everyone in her family. Kathryn often falls into despair, but she has been holding on to seeing her daughter’s wedding day.
This project draws on 930 hours of footage – all filmed without any crew present from a fixed camera from Kathyn’s point of view. The result is a profoundly intimate, layered and wryly funny portrait of a family at its breaking point.
