Interesting film about a man that mistreats his family/takes them for granted. And, doesn't realize how special they are until his wife gets ill/has to leave to get better. Also, he is given a dose of his own medicine, by the woman that use to help raise him. Gradually, he realizes what he has done/decides to make a change.
