My Life Without Me
Short description
Ann is a twenty-three-year-old woman living a bleak life in Vancouver with her two daughters and unemployed husband. She works as a university cleaner and resides in a caravan in her mother's garden. After receiving a medical diagnosis of a terminal illness with only a few months to live, she decides to change her existence. Without informing her family about her condition, she creates a list of goals and desires to achieve before she dies.
Directed and written by Isabel Coixet, this drama and romance was the first film listed in the provided chronology of her work. The movie stars Sarah Polley in the lead role, alongside Amanda Plummer, Scott Speedman, Mark Ruffalo, Leonor Watling, and Debbie Harry. It was produced by El Deseo, Milestone Productions, and Miss Wasabi.

What's left behind the scenes
- The initial script included some scenes that were never filmed (presumably to avoid making the film too long). One of them involved Anne recording video messages to her own father and Dr. Thompson. Another planned to show her father in prison, tearfully sewing shoes for his granddaughters.
