My Sister's Keeper

Uma Prova de Amor

Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian Fitzgerald (Jason Patric) are told that Kate (Sofia Vassilieva), their daughter, has leukemia and is only a few years old. The doctor suggests that parents try an orthodox medical procedure, generating a test tube child who is a Kate-compatible donor. Willing to do anything to save their daughter, they accept the proposal. This is how Anna (Abigail Breslin) is born, who at birth donates blood from her umbilical cord to her sister. Years later, doctors decide to do a bone marrow transplant from Anna to Kate. When she reaches 11 years old, Anna needs to donate a kidney to her sister. Tired of the medical procedures to which she is subjected, she decides to face her parents and fight in court for medical emancipation, so that she has the right to decide what to do with her body. To defend her, she hires Campbell Alexander (Alec Baldwin), a lawyer who will look after her interests.
