About the film:
The story about 11 year old Anna Fitzgerald conceived to be a donor for her leukaemia – stricken sister, but who finally demands the right to control her own body. This act of free will may tear the Fitzgerald's apart. Or it may be the first step to a triumphant realisation of devotion, dignity and what it means to be a family.
