Jamie Lee Curtis and Alan Bates star in this extraordinary picture of strength and compassion. A married couple known for their passion for traveling, Reg and Maggie Green have taken their two children, Nicholas and Eleanor, to Italy, their favorite destination. Yet while driving through Sicily, masked thieves shoot at the Greens’ car, mortally wounding Nicholas. Without hesitation, the Greens decide to donate Nicholas'’ organs so others can live. Because of their selfless act, the Greens discover the eyes of the world are upon them. They are instant celebrities and their son a national hero in Italy. The Greens find the strength and compassion to respond with solemn dignity in the face of this most devastating loss, embarking on a mission of compassion around the world and creating what they call “the "Nicholas effect”".

A very moving heartfelt and heartbreaking story based on true facts. Sensitive actor Alan Bates lost his own son in real life(a twin)so he was so great in the role of the father,Reggie. The kid actors were great as well as role of the mother played by Jaime Curtis. THe story is profound and you will find out why when you watch this movie,
