劇情簡介
一天,美麗的姑娘希拉裏打開房門,卻發現了她的建築工男朋友正在與一個女孩鬼混, 一氣之下她決定與男友分手,不再靠他生活,開始自食其力。雖然媽媽對她的打算並不看好,但希拉裏主意已定。說到做到,第二天,希拉裏就通過報紙上的廣告去一個富有的家庭應聘當了一名護士,專門看護得了白血病的百萬富翁之子維克多。維克多不僅為希拉裏提供食宿,不菲的薪水更是讓希拉裏吃驚不已。
沒多久,希拉裏發現這個工作並不是那麼輕鬆。維克多每次做完化療後,都會有強烈的不良反應,他不停的嘔吐,大喊大叫,痛苦萬分。而看護的工作對於生性善良的希拉裏來說更是一種折磨,她必須看著一個年輕的生命在漸漸枯萎。希拉裏每天細心地照料著維克多,雖然事實上她對看護這項工作一竅不通。

為了能給希拉裏一份正常人的愛情,維克多決定隱瞞自己的治療計畫,帶著希拉裏遠赴一個海邊小鎮開始全新的生活。在那裏,二人分享著彼此的生活方式,希拉裏教維克多開車,帶他去酒吧,而維克多也會時不時地給希拉裏來一堂藝術課,還認識了不少熱情善良的朋友。他們度過了一段幸福而開心的日子,維克多的病情似乎也一下子好了起來。
但好景不長,維克多病情的突然惡化,打破了平靜的生活,雖然他一再隱瞞,但細心的希拉裏還是發現了,她執意要帶維克多回到醫院接受治療,美麗的姑娘發誓只要他活一天,她就陪伴他一天。

精彩視點
這部電影的音樂是由新道崛起的配樂高手詹姆士·牛頓·霍華德負責,王牌薩克斯風天王凱尼·吉更是破例首次為原聲碟跨刀助陣,輕盈縹緲的鍵盤,低緩裊繞的薩克斯風襯著管弦氣勢烘托全片感人的愛情氣氛不下於“第六感生死戀”。加上爵士經典名曲《All The Way》作為插曲,輕柔的管弦伴奏,加上幽怨低沉的唱腔,更加感人至深,是一部不可多得的佳作。
