Book description
This film is about the agonizing spiritual crisis of C.S. Lewis when his wife died from cancer. The love, grief, pain, and sorrow were so shattering to Lewis that his basic Christian beliefs, magnificently communicated in his many books, were now called into serious doubt. But he picked up the pieces and moved out of the depressing “shadowlands,” realizing that “real life has not even begun yet.” This film explores the deepest spiritual values. It is about love and death in a very real way…I found it completely compelling…so different, about the kind of things television drama doesn’t usually tackle. It is, we should perhaps warn viewers, immensely harrowing at some stages. But it is in the end immensely uplifting.

Running time: 90 min., (H.S. – Adult)
