Who do you think you'll remember when facing death?
Have you ever experienced "memorable love"?

This movie is about an old lady's hidden life. She suffered from a serious disease and was about to pass away. While her two daughters were beside her bed, they kept hearing their mother calling an unfamiliar name. "Who is Harris?" They didn't have a clue. This was, actually, the name of a guy whom their mother had fell in love with in her younger days.
Their mother, Anne, met him at her friend's home, and they were both attracted to each other. However, a particular event torn them apart completely and then each of them got married with others. From the bottom of their hearts, they kept loving each other.
"What if I had never let him go?" Anne had been thinking that way. Although she had been unhappy and regretful for a long time, facing death, something got changing in her mind.
"Try to be strong," Anne said to one of her daughters.
With her solid advice, the struggling daughter finally realized the meanings of life and love.

We understand this: loving somone is always beautiful.
Having said that, there are many types of love in this world, and we sometimes feel happy, tired, angry, empty because of its ambiguious. This is a line from the story, "In fact, there is no mistake in our lives." That is, every love we experience must have a meaning of our beings.

Hi Emi,
I watched this movie, too, sometime ago on HBO. As you wrote, it was very moving. Also, Toni Collette, who played one of Anne's daughters, is my favorite actress. Her performance to show the character's frustration, despair and hope was intriguing, as well as that of Anne's. It was a remarkable movie.
