Drama
aka: Oscar and the Lady in Pink

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...
