Louisa (Clarke), an underachieving young adult, finds a job working as a caregiver for Will (Claflin), a young man who has recently been paralysed after an accident.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
The popular book by Jojo Moyes – who also pens the screenplay – gets a feature film adaptation that hopes to have as much success as The Fault In Our Stars did a couple of years ago, but also stand on its own as an uplifting romance despite the odds.
