Lou Clark, a directionless 26-year-old from the English countryside, takes a job at the local castle as a caregiver and companion to a wealthy young banker, Will Traynor. Wheelchair-bound from an accident two years prior, the once adventurous Will has all but given up — that is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The bumblebee tights were REAL—Emilia Clarke picked them herself and they're now iconic. The costume designer originally hated them.
The film sparked massive disability rights protests for suggesting disabled life isn't worth living. The novel's author, Jojo Moyes, defended it as one character's choice, not a universal statement.
