Me Before You (2016), directed by Thea Sharrock, is a heart-wrenching romance that explores themes of love, loss, and the complex choices surrounding disability. Based on the bestselling novel by Jojo Moyes, the film follows the emotional journey of Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke), a quirky and optimistic young woman, and Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), a wealthy, successful man whose life is radically changed after a tragic accident leaves him quadriplegic. What starts as a simple job for Louisa, who becomes Will’s caregiver, blossoms into a transformative relationship that challenges both of their worlds and perspectives on life.

Louisa Clark is a lively, free-spirited woman who struggles to find direction in life after losing her job at a local café. She accepts a position as a caregiver to Will Traynor, a former high-powered businessman who is now confined to a wheelchair after a motorcycle accident. Will is cynical, angry, and determined to end his life through assisted suicide in Switzerland, a decision he has made after being left with permanent paralysis.
