Her affliction (spoilers I guess'


Anyone know what disease it was that she suffered from? Or, is there not enough to go on?

It's Holt-Oram Syndrome.

It wasn't said in the movie.

I suspect that was the one -- and may explain why they (or especially the mother?) didn't walk to talk about her father; since that is a genetic disorder, it may well have been inherited by him, and caused his premature end...

A fine, sad, poignant, yet heartening film. very well done

I suspected leukemia because she was always getting anemic and fainting, but in the long run it doesn't really matter.
