Wondering if I remember this movie


Was there a boy who died after falling from a tree? Did the protagonist return to the school years later at the end of the movie? I also recall the movie being narrated by the person who returned to the school. Thanks.

Yes, except the boy didn't die from falling from the tree. He survived that. Finny died from a heart attack. He fell down the stairs and broke his leg, it was only a minor injury. But when the doctor was doing surgery on his leg, some bone marrow got into Finny's blood stream and it stopped his heart.
