Twenty years ago I had an inspiring music instructor, Jim Klages, who sparked my love for music. He was a highly respected soloist in the Washington, D.C. area where I grew up. At the peak of his career, he lost everything after his diagnosis for Multiple Sclerosis: his elite soloist position, house, health, financial stability, and comfortable family life. Thirteen years later, he found a healer who helped alleviate his symptoms. In 2005, Jim and I reconnected for the first time since 1989. At first his story of disease and recovery struck me as unbelievable. The more research I did, the more I learned of the complexities of Multiple Sclerosis. Once production began, I learned of Jim and Carol's emotional scars from chronic disease, too. Over the next year Carol felt inspired to tell her story as Jim's caretaker through the darker times. It was at that point that the film took on a new dimension for the Klages family that I had not anticipated. That new dimension took the film to a compelling level. In the film, Jim and Carol confront the scars from medical, financial and emotional setbacks from their struggle with chronic illness. The Klages family begins to heal wounds from an unsettled past.
