Plot: Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny, and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief, but in rediscovering herself. In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way; P.S. I Love You. Holly's mother and best friends begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past.
This movie links to my play through the way it is a story of two lovers who have a devastating end to their relationship. It is also similar through the way the males make plans to making life easier to their partners by writing letters and giving them a sense of hope and adventure with every one that is sent even though the people around them believe that it is keeping them tied to the past and things that can't happen.
