Film Synopsis

Oscar, a ten-year-old-boy, is staying in a hospital for sick children. Neither his doctors nor his parents have the courage to tell him the truth about his illness. Only Rose, the down-to-Earth woman who delivers the pizzas, can bring herself to communicate openly with him. Seeing the young boy's distress, Rose suggests they play a game. They will pretend that every day in the hospital counts for ten years in the world outside. That way, Oscar will be sure to live a full life, whatever the outcome. To learn what Oscar is feeling, Rose persuades him to write a letter to God each day. As a result, Rose and Oscar become the closest of friends, but neither could have imagined the extent to which their friendship will affect both of their lives...
