My Life Without Me (2003)
Synopsis: Ann is 23-years-old, she has 2 young daughters, a husband who > spends more time unemployed than working, a mother who hates the world, a father who has spent the last ten years in jail, and a job as a night
janitor in a university that she could never attend in the daytime. They
all live in a trailer, on the yard of her mother's house, in the outskirts
of Vancouver. However, this gray existence changes completely when, after
a medical check-up, a doctor tells Ann that she has very little time left
on this earth. Learning that she has hardly two months to live, Ann
decides to keep her condition a secret, and refuses to tell anybody--not
even her husband--about her time remaining. She does not want people
around her with long faces, and obsessed with her approaching death. Ann
starts to make a list of things to do before dying, which she completes
little by little. The list targets a wide range of things to which she
must attend, including carrying out tasks like: saying exactly what she
thinks to certain people; as well as getting herself some fake
fingernails. Unexpectedly, Ann discovers an appetite for life that drives
her to live her last days with a sensual and furious intensity she had not
known before. During this short time, she prepares her daughters for a
life without her; she meets a solitary wounded man, whom she seduces; and
most importantly, Ann faces what remains of her life with a certain
steadfast courage she never knew she possessed.

The trailer for this made me cry--when she is making a tape of birthday messages for her daughters...

I probably won't go to see this--I'd be up all night re-writing my will.
