【明報專訊】Breakthrough (《奇蹟的突破》) is the first film directed by Roxann Dawson, who is also an actress best known for playing an alien in a Star Trek drama. The film is adapted from a novel written by the protagonist in the movie, Joyce Smith. She has an adopted son John, who falls into an icy lake. If you were in her shoes, perhaps you would give up your hope. But Joyce doesn't and still clings to (信守) the idea that her son can survive. Perhaps we should all learn from her gritty (堅毅的) determination.
