Emma Thompson stars as Vivian Bearing, a disciplined, esteemed English professor dealing with a sensitive issue -- her health. After being diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Bearing is forced to reassess her life and decide what's really important. Directed by Mike Nichols and adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama by Margaret Edson, the film also tells the stories of the people Bearing touches, including her health care team.

It appears to be a matter of life and death.
