Me Before You

Will Traynor, a former vibrant individual now living as a tetraplegic, is introduced to Louisa 'Lou' Clark, a caregiver hired to assist him. Initially, Will is unresponsive and distant, reflecting his deep-seated depression and dissatisfaction with his life.

Despite Will's standoffish nature, Lou is determined to bring light into his life. Her goal is to break through Will's defenses and show him there are still joys worth experiencing.

While getting to know Will, Lou uncovers his intention to visit Dignitas in Switzerland for assisted suicide. This shocking realization fuels her desire to change Will's mind about life and offer him hope.

As Lou immerses herself in helping Will, her boyfriend Patrick becomes increasingly jealous of the time they share. This tension leads to complications in Lou's personal relationships as she balances her caregiving with her romance.

Will begins to express his nostalgia for his former love, Alicia, demonstrating his unresolved feelings and emotional turmoil. He eventually invites Lou to accompany him to her wedding, highlighting their growing connection.

Lou's attendance at Alicia's wedding with Will marks a significant moment in their relationship. At the wedding, Lou notices the impact Alicia had on Will and sees a different side of his emotional world.

Will takes Lou on a luxurious trip to Mauritius, an experience filled with beauty and profound conversations. It is during this vacation that Will candidly reveals his intentions to end his life, sparking a heartfelt discussion.

Amidst the beautiful scenery of Mauritius, Will asserts his wish for Lou to embrace life without him. He expresses his belief that she deserves to live fully, even if it means leaving him behind, deepening their emotional bond.

Devastated by Will's decision and the weight of their conversations, Lou decides to withdraw from her role as his caregiver. She feels crushed by the reality of losing someone she has grown to care deeply for.

After weeks apart, Lou finds solace in a café that Will often frequented. Motivated by her father's encouragement, she goes there hoping to find some comfort amidst her heartache.

At the café, Lou discovers a letter written by Will specifically for her. In it, Will encourages her to live her life to the fullest and pursue her dreams, leaving a lasting influence on her.

Will's letter serves as a powerful reminder of his impact, urging Lou to carry on his message of hope. Despite his physical absence, his spirit encourages her to embrace life's potential and adventures.
