Talk to Her
I got this film because it is by the Spanish director, Pedro Almadovar whose films (All About Mother, and another I do'nt remember now) have left a lasting impression on us... It's about the power of love. A male nurse who attends on the woman in coma loves her and keeps talking to her although she cannot hear him. He persists in this, tells her about the erotic silent movies he has seen for her. When the woman in coma is found to be pregnant they send him to jail where he waits in vain to know what happened to her. When no one helps him with news of her, he assumes she died and he also commits suicide. But she actually recovers from coma, having delivered a dead foetus. But the point of the film, it seems to me, is that it was his loving talk that has helped her regain consciousness and health.
