Eventually, Walter’s determined spirit wins out over his fears and he creates a new life for himself at the institution, even gaining a love interest, June (Sarah Miles). Years later, Walter and June dare to take on the outside world again, leaving the safe confines of the hospital and setting out for London. Facing monumental challenges and with only each other to cling to, they are determined to make a life for themselves. Directed by Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liaisons) and based on David Cook’s award-winning novel, Loving Walter is a profoundly moving film with a character impossible to forget.
