Sara has just turned 20 when she discovers she has cancer. The illness, although turning her life upside down, becomes the moment when she decides to live life to the full- she wants to keep making plans, fight and love. She wants to live so much that her relationship with her doctor, Roberto, grows outside the hospital walls and encroaches on real life, where love and fear intertwine in a web of instense emotion. Her time is marked by stints in hospital, endless exams, tears, laughter, the knowledge that her illness won't go away and the rebirth of a girl forced to become a woman too early.
