Me before you

The movie Me Before You directed by Thea Sharrock, and stared by William Traynor and Louise
Clark tells the story of Will, a young man considered rich and successful by society that leads a
very busy life full of achievements, in addition to being a lover of travel, parties and especially
extreme sports. But right day his life changes completely after suffering a serious accident.
After an accident, which even on the verge of death, survives, but with many sequels,
becoming a quadriplegic, being by fate now forcing him to remain in a wheelchair and
consequently making him extremely dependent on the help of a nurse for the most basic
routine activities. Well, as if that weren't enough, Will can't see himself in this situation and
becomes very depressed, embittered, and begins to treat everyone around him very badly
because he feels wronged by life. And his parents are very worried about him and decide to
hire him. A new caregiver, very different from the others named Luisa Clark. Luisa, who had a
totally different life from Will, is a girl of modest origin. who had nothing easy in life, used to
fighting and going through difficulties which leads her to accept the job . And then Luisa Clark
with her very peculiar and clumsy personality doing the as much as possible to improve Will's
state of mind, falls in love for him. But he didn't go back on his word, and dies leaving
significant amount of money for her to fulfill her dreams. I thought that this film managed to
convey very well the emotionality that the genre of romance demand. I highly recommend it.
