Walking on Water Movie Review 2002

Gavin (Bonney) has been suffering from leukemia for a long time and has asked his friends and housemates--Charlie (Colosimo), Anna (Theodorakis), and Frank (Bishop)--to help him die with dignity at home. In the end, this means Charlie must quietly assist Gavin's suicide, which leaves him haunted by grief and guilt. He's not the only one unable to cope as Gavin's friends and family all struggle in their separate ways.
