Synopsis:
The celebrated lyricist, Edwyn Collins (A Girl Like You) could only say two phrases after waking up: "Grace Maxwell" and "The Possibilities Are Endless". This is the incredible story of Collins, a songwriter who had the contents of his mind effectively deleted after experiencing a stroke. Placed inside Edwyn's mind, we embark on a remarkable journey from the brink of death back to language, music, life and love. With the help of his wife Grace, Edwyn submerges himself in a landscape of memories as he tries to unlock the story of his past. More than a story of determination against all odds; it is an intimate and life-affirming tale of rediscovery.

Truly inspiring - The Possibilities Are Endless review by CW

Spoiler Alert
13/04/2020

I have thrilled many times to The Magic Piper of Love and A Girl Like You. The music! The dancing! The concept! I didn’t know anything about the man. This documentary was recommended to me. I learned about the stroke, the massive brain bleed. Six months in hospital. Edwyn Collins could not speak except for a few words. Could not read or write or walk. With the fierce no matter what love of his wife Grace Maxwell, Edwyn Collins struggled to relearn motor skills. He practiced reading and writing, starting from the basics. He was a words man and had to deal with barely being able to string words together. You never see him complaining nor feeling sorry for himself. He answers questions about his past and the paths to recovery but his own focus is the present and the future. It is heartbreaking to see and hear him struggle but positively heartwarming to witness all he has now achieved. His lust for life and commitment to love comes across. He is a real hero and unbelievable role model. There is no stopping him. 

Grace still has her adorable smile and flirtatious manner. They are obviously in love. They love their life together and their son William and time on earth.
