The film is about two men. One, Ivan, is becoming weakened by ALS. The other, Lucas, is caring for him. We see stresses of the relationship surface as Ivan loses ground, and Lucas vows to stay with him.
The reasons behind the stresses and tensions become clear during the course of the film. In a latter part of the film, the two talk about the nature and meaning of experiences in life, and the the fuller story comes to light in a very touching and moving scene about human relationship.
The movie is very, very well acted. And it's beautifully photographed.
For me, the one downside was that some of the dialog is whispered, and I found it tough to hear/understand every word. But the story is powerful.
