剧情简介
Young and athletic Sydney Harris (Kathleen Benner) finds out that she has six months to live unless she and her husband (Jose Rosete) can come up with the money for her medical treatment. Sounds simple enough; get the money, save her life. But her underpaid, working class husband can't afford the treatment. And time is ticking away. As Sydney begins to seek out a means to save her life, she begins to question her existence and does some soul searching, only to find herself falling in love with a single mom (Rachel Owens) in the neighbourhood that Sydney and her family have just moved into. Sydney is then forced to choose between her religious upbringing, her husband and son, and a love that she hides, all while fighting a losing battle to save her own life.　　
年轻的少妇Sydney（Katheleen Benner饰）得了甲状腺癌症，只剩下6个月的生命，为了挣取治疗费用和服兵役结束的丈夫Corey（Jose Rosete饰）儿子Matt (Wil Rillero)搬家 来到丈夫工作的地方，遇到了他们的新邻居一个丈夫入狱独自带着两个孩子的单身母亲Jane（Rachel Owens  )。Sydney喜欢读书和跑步，是一个电影编剧，而Sydney的丈夫却并不理解她的爱好，并对此完全不感兴趣，因此Sydney感到很失望。而Jane也喜欢写诗，两人一见如故，很快成了好朋友。很快Sydney发现自己爱上了善解人意的Jane，而两人的关系由于Sydney的家庭不能发展，这时重重地焦虑使Sydney和丈夫的关系一日比一日紧张，而Jane一如既往地关心使Sydney感到很温暖，在Sydney生日这天，相爱的两人终于消除芥蒂，缠绵过后，Jane也将自己的身世和经历告诉了Sydney，两人在酒吧跳舞引来众多目光。回到丈夫身边的Sydney仍然难以让丈夫接受自己的追求因而离家出走，这时Sydney的丈夫终于意识到事态的严重性。Sydney与Jane生活在一起引来了一个信奉上帝的人jerry，Jerry也是个女同性恋，但是她在信仰的驱使下选择了独善其身，Jerry也想劝Sydney要遵从上帝的旨意不要陷入禁忌之恋，被Jerry纠缠不清的Sydney最后同意去听一场讲义，而这个时候找上门来的Sydney的丈夫看到Jane穿着Sydney最喜欢的衬衫，情急之下，Jane说出了自己就是在片头救起过Sydney人，这一切正好被Sydney听到，听完讲义的Sydney质问Jane为什么不告诉就是她救了她，Jane也说明了自己之所以不告诉Sydney是因为不想Sydney因为感激她而和她在一起。Sydney的丈夫非常不理解为什么妻子会爱上一个女人，无法沟通的两人彻底结束了。身心疲惫的Sydney再也不愿意在这时是非非中纠缠，她回到Jane的身边，骗她自己写的剧本被导演相中了，因此要出去一段时间，Jane虽然舍不得还是让Sydney走了，Sydney独自一人来到先前租的小屋，完成了她的剧本，还录下了遗言，表白了自己的心声，完成心愿的Sydney结束了自己的生命。
剧情评论
这部电影的主题十分丰富，不仅有爱情，还有责任，理想，人生的价值和意义。片中的Sydney在生命的最后遇到的这样的问题是我们每个人都会遇到的问题，碎梦前行实际上说的是每个人的生活，明明知道总计有一天会死去，却仍旧在有限的生命里为自己的理想，为自己的幸福争取着，希望能实现人生的价值，希望得到别人的理解，对这部影片的理解应该关照到人性的很多方面，同样电影还关注到了军人的生活，美国有很多影片都反映了从战场上回来的军人在生活中遇到的种种不幸，他们经历过生死，却无法回到正常的生活轨道上，影片中的丈夫Corey就是这样的典型，他们的生活甚至没有医疗保险，而他也只能每天为了生计做一些繁重的工作，他们有着忠诚，老实的品质，坚守着对生活的信念却无力抗拒性格上的沉闷，生活上的压力，内心麻木的生活着。
