Un corazón con alas

Unfortunately I missed the first half an hour of this made for TV movie but it totally sucked me in and I wish I'd seen it from the beginning. A very inspiring story, Sarah Chalke gives an amazing performance here as Geralyn Lucas; a young woman at the start of her life with everything going for her (great husband, supportive family, friends, dream job) who is diagnosed with breast cancer. Geralyn fights back on her own terms using courage, humour and never without her bright red lipstick.

Sarah Chalke brings warmth and sensitivity to the central role and the dialogue is witty and fun (even though she's going through cancer and debilitating chemo). The effects her sickness has on her husband and friends as well as herself are also well explored and felt realistic. Based on a memoir 04.13
