The Raging Moon

This British drama, based on the novel by Peter Marshall, examines how an encounter between two people, both in wheelchairs, changes each of their lives. Bruce Pritchard is a 24-year old soccer enthusiastic who becomes embittered when a degenerative disease confines him to a wheelchair. Jill Mathews is the slightly older woman he meets at a home for the disabled run by a church organization. Mathews is also wheelchair-bound due to polio. Just as Bruce is falling for Jill, she leaves the home to marry her fiancé Geoffrey, but ultimately breaks off her engagement to pursue a relationship with Bruce.
