ACADEMY AWARD Winner Helen Hunt* joins John Hawkes and William H. Macy in this triumphant story about love, sex, desire... and making every breath count. Paralysed and confined to an iron lung since childhood, poet-journalist Mark O'Brien (Hawkes) has overcome adversity time and time again. But now, at age 38, he faces his toughest challenge yet: losing his virginity. With the help of a beautiful therapist (Hunt), a sympathetic priest (Macy) and his own unbridled sense of optimism and humour, Marks embarks on an extraordinary personal journey to discover the wondrous pleasures that make life worth living. *Actress, As Good As It Gets, 1997.
