Hollywood European Award on October 18 in LA it also won best actor
in last Venice festival. Brief synopsis:
Ramon has been laid up in bed for thirty years, being taken care
of by his family. His bedroom window is his only window to the world,
overlooking the sea he so often sailed; that sea where he suffered
the accident that curtailed his youth. Since then, his only wish
has been to bring his life to a dignified end.
His world is turned upside down by the arrival of two women: Julia,
the lawyer who supports him in his struggle to end his life as he
sees fit, and Rosa, a woman from the village, who tries to convince
him that it is worth carrying on living after all. Both women are
overwhelmed by Ramon's captivating personality, and are forced to
question all the principles which have governed their lives thus
far.
Ramon knows that only someone who really loves him will help him
undertake his ultimate journey.
