As Richard's muscles, voice, and breath fade, both he and Karina try to reconcile their past before it's too late.
When Richard becomes increasingly paralyzed and is no longer able to live on his own, Karina becomes his reluctant caretaker. Karina is paralyzed by excuses and fear, stuck in an unfulfilling life as a piano teacher, afraid to pursue the path she abandoned as a young woman, blaming Richard and their failed marriage for all of it. Three years ago, Karina removed their framed wedding picture from the living room wall and hung a mirror there instead. The loss of his hand feels like a death, a loss of true love, a divorce-his divorce. His fingers are impotent, still, devoid of possibility. Richard now has ALS, and his entire right arm is paralyzed. Every finger of his hands was a finely calibrated instrument, dancing across the keys and striking each note with exacting precision. An accomplished concert pianist, Richard received standing ovations from audiences all over the world in awe of his rare combination of emotional resonance and flawless technique.
