Mi Vida Sin Me (
My Life Without Me) is a tale of a woman dying before her time.
Sarah Polley plays Ann, a 24-year-old mother of two. Ann is married to Don (
Scott Speedman), and they live near Ann's mother (
Deborah Harry), who is bitter about the fact that Ann's father is serving a ten-year prison sentence. Ann learns that she has only a few months to live. She makes a series of goals to complete before her time on Earth comes to an end. Among her accomplishments are taking a lover (
Mark Ruffalo), finding someone to care for Don, and recording birthday greetings for her two daughters.
My Life Without Me was screened in competition at the
Berlin Film Festival.
