Description

Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a shy research physician, uses an experimental drug to "awaken" the catatonic victims of a rare disease. Leonard is the first patient to receive the controversial treatment. His awakening, filled with awe and enthusiasm, proves a rebirth for Sayer too, as the exuberant patient reveals life's simple but unutterably sweet pleasures to the introverted doctor.

It's a sad but very deep film. Makes us appreciate what we take for granted :(

A magical movie
One of those that leaves an aftertaste of kind sadness and warmth

"We realized that the human spirit is stronger than any medicine and needs to be nourished by work, play, friendship, and family.… That's what's really important! And we forget about it.… About the simplest things..."
