Ballad of Jack and Rose, The (2005)

a.k.a. 

Disabilities:  Heart disease

Comments:   Jack (Daniel Day-Lewis) lives off the Canadian eastern coast on a small island. He lives with his daughter (she's about nineteen) and he is dying from heart disease.
Besides his concern about what will happen to his daughter when he dies there is much else happening in a small community undergoing change.
