A true life story of a polio victim totally paralysed except for his head who with the love of his wife survived on a ventilator at his bedside at home and then had a wheelchair adapted to incorporate a battery powered ventilator under the seat . An incredible film produced by the polio victim's son chronicling his father's determination to enjoy life for the 36 years he survived. An moving film brought to life by the superb performances of Andrew Garfield as the polio victime and of Clire Foy as his wife.
