Foreverland (film)

Foreverland is a 2011 Canadian drama film starring Max Thieriot and Laurence Leboeuf.

Plot
At age 21, the world seems to have no limits, the horizon unattainable. We're thinking about the road ahead at the end of college, how to fund that backpacking trip across Europe, or just when we fall madly in love. At 21, Will's mind is elsewhere. He thinks of the two hours of physical therapy he is going to do that afternoon and the half-dozen Creonte-20s he drank with his pancakes in the morning. He is concerned about the chronic obstruction in his bronchial tubes, from the early onset of osteoporosis. He is thinking about what it means to be born with cystic fibrosis, a terminal illness that absorbs youth.

Lonely, sarcastic and always rational, Will resigns himself to his fate. Until one day, lightning strikes from the sky in the form of his old childhood friend Bobby, also suffering from cystic fibrosis and who died of the disease. Bobby asks Will from the afterlife to take his ashes to a legendary sanctuary of healing in Mexico.

Accompanied by Hannah, Bobby's sister, Will embarks on a journey down the Pacific Coast, from Vancouver, along the US coastline into the heart of the Baja Peninsula through California, encountering some difficulties and various characters.
