What is the plot of Me Before You (2016)?
Me Before You centres around Louisa Clark, who, after losing her low-paying café job, is hired to take care of Will Traynor, a wealthy, world-traveling banker who has been tetraplegic since a devastating accident. Will’s mom hopes Lou’s vibrant personality might lift his broken spirit.
Will is initially unpleasant, bitter, and extremely depressed over the life he has lost; he treats Lou with cold disregard. Lou, who is completely untrained as a carer, attempts to make his days happier by bringing in minor joys like holidays, racetrack trips, Mozart performances, and even a beach vacation in Mauritius.
Meanwhile, Lou struggles with her own unfulfilled goals while dating Patrick, a distant partner, and gradually comes to terms with the fact that she is falling for Will. Soon, she finds out that Will has decided to commit assisted suicide in Switzerland since he feels that sitting in a chair is the same as not living at all.
Lou, heartbroken, makes every effort to convince him to reconsider his decision. Though they have a strong emotional connection, Will is adamant about his plan and advises Lou to enjoy life to the fullest and avoid living in half-lives.
In the end, Lou leaves, but she decides to accompany him to Switzerland. Weeks after his death, she discovers and reads his letter, which encourages her to use the money he gave her to pursue her goals.
