Owl Song (2010) / Stanley Bate
Owl Song is the true story of Peggy Glanville-Hicks (Neve Campbell?), a precocious young antipoedian who defies the conservative social conventions of the early 20th century by daring to follow her dream of becoming a great composer. A brilliant, witty, pipe-smoking, dynamic woman and musical pioneer who forged a formidable career in Europe and North America in the mid-twentieth century; amongst her many achievements Peggy was the first woman to be commissioned to write an opera in the USA. Married to the emotionally complex, elegant and talented English composer Stanley Bate (JJ Feild), their close-knit group of friends included world-famous impresario Yehudi Menuhin and literary intrigue Anais Nin.
Tragically in 1967 at the height of her career, Peggy is struck down blind, diagnosed with a brain tumour and given five days to live. But the doctors won't operate because the risky and costly procedure had an extremely limited chance to save her life, and would by all accounts leave her permanently incapacitated. Being abroad, her close-knit group of friends are left with the responsibility to decide what is best for her. Is it more humane to let her die, or should they do whatever they can to save her life, even if she may not fully recover her faculties? Source
