39 POUNDS OF LOVE

The film tells the story of Ami Ankilewitz, a 3-D animator who lives in Israel and whose bodily motion is limited to a single finger on his left hand. At birth, Ami was diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, later diagnosed as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and was predicted to survive only to the age of 6. Now, thirty years later, he leaves the woman he loves and returns to the United States to confront the doctor who predicted his early demise. Along the way, he comes to terms with a major incident from his past and pursues a lifelong dream: to ride a Harley Davidson. 39 Pounds of Love is an emotional roller coaster, a fascinating, humorous and inspirational ride through life with someone who truly embodies the motto carpe diem (seize the day)...
