Synopsis

Twenty-three-year-old Ann lives in a trailer in her mother’s back garden with her two little daughters and the husband she’s known since school. When she suddenly collapses, the hospital tells her she doesn’t have long to live. She tells no one, and on her way home she starts writing a list of the things she wants to do before she dies.
