CGiii Comment
William Meredith - former US poet laureate and Pulitzer prize winner...
A man who deserves a better production than this badly acted, written and directed travesty.
Amateur and unaccomplished - from a director who holds a doctorate in "Film Adaption of Novels"...keep to adapting because you certainly can't direct.
And...Richard Harteis - the former partner of Meredith and co-writer - you should be thoroughly ashamed and embarrassed to have been involved in this crap.

The(ir) Blurb...
In the 17th year of friendship, William suffers a debilitating stroke. Richard stands by his partner fighting for his right to care for him, despite the inevitable restrictions on his own life and against the wishes of William's family. The strength to overcome disability with dignity becomes a lesson in physical and spiritual endurance, hard won knowledge indeed.
