Opis

This is the Inspired story of Nora. A 14 year-old girl from the rough side of the tracks with terminal brain cancer. As Nora astounds doctors that she is still walking around in her advanced condition, she begins to imagine what it might be like to have known her father that passed away when she was only three-years-old. Having nothing but an old and yellowed Polaroid picture of her father, and her mother's memories, Nora creates a secret garden in her dreams where she and her father reunite. Nora buckles down for the long haul at St. Jude's Hospital, and makes her best effort to turn it into her home away from home. She goes on late night walks, contemplating life, love and being a young woman on the verge of death. All seems to be going as well as expected until a tall, dark and mysterious stranger appears to her one night at the end of a darkened hospital corridor. A little bit terrified and somewhat intrigued, Nora strains through the shadows for a better glimpse of the man wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt and dark boots, before he vanishes into the darkness. As Nora begins to learn of her cancerous fate, the mystery man reappears to offer her a whole new world of possibilities, for here on Earth, and the hereafter.
