Monica is a totally '80s teenager on the brink of a bright future when her dreams are destroyed by a car wreck that leaves her in a coma for 19 years. After miraculously awakening at age 38, Monica finds her once-perfect life in shambles and an unrecognizable world around her. As she struggles to fit into a world of Starbucks and cell phones, she attempts to win back the love of her life. In the process, she experiences a true wake-up call. Based on the stage play 'My Wonderful Coma' by award-winning playwright Sandy Boikian, Leaving Limbo is a comedic drama that explores the topics of forgiving yourself and letting go of the pain of guilt.
Dove Worldview:
This is a miraculous story which shows that forgiveness and perseverance can take us far in life.
A reckless driver that caused an accident which resulted in a woman being in a coma for almost twenty years cannot forgive himself and yet this story is about the woman that spent all the years in the coma and her willingness to forgive the man.
The acting is excellent and the story is interesting with the woman (Monica) using 80s terms like "gnarly!" yet this story of forgiveness is timeless. Monica wonders why God allowed the accident to happen to her but in searching the scriptures she finds that God's will is ultimately important for His purposes and plan. The ending is good and will please a lot of viewers. This movie will renew your faith in miracles! We award this film our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for ages twelve plus and five Doves, our highest rating.
