Catalan Cinema
Catalan Cinema presents "My life without me," a film directed by Isabel Coixet in 2003.
Ann (Sarah Polley) is a hard-working 23-year-old mother with two small daughters, an unemployed husband (Scott Speedman), a mother (Deborah Harry) who sees her life as a failure, and a jailed father whom she has not seen in ten years. She works nights as a janitor in a university she could never afford to attend, lives in a caravan in her mother's backyard, and has no aspirations. Her life changes dramatically when after a medical check-up she is diagnosed with endometrial cancer and told she has only two months to live. Deciding not to tell anyone of her condition, using the cover of anemia, Ann makes a list of things to do before she dies.
The film is in Spanish with English subtitles. It is a drama and the runtime is 106 minutes. It won the Barcelona Film Award in 2004 and the Prize of the Guild of German Art House Cinemas at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2003.
The film will be introduced by Julia Llompart.
