AMELIA
On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart (Swank) and her navigator, Fred Noonan (Eccleston), are on the last leg of an around-the-world flight. Moving in vignettes from her early years when Earhart was captivated by the sight of an aircraft flying overhead on the Kansas prairie where she grew up, her life over the preceding decade gradually unfolds. As a young woman, she is recruited by publishing tycoon and eventual husband George Putnam (Gere) to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean , albeit as a passenger. Taking command of the flight results in a success and she is thrust into the limelight as the most famous woman pilot of her time. Putnam helps Earhart write a book chronicling the flight, much like his earlier triumph with Charles Lindbergh 's We , gradually falling in love with his charge, and they eventually marry, although she enacts a "cruel" pledge as her wedding contract.
Amelia Earhart liebt das Fliegen und sie kämpft dafür, auch als Frau in dieser Disziplin respektiert zu werden. Als sie 1928 als erste Frau den Atlantik überquert - wenn auch nur als Passagierin - erlangt sie internationale Bekanntheit. Von da an setzt sie sich öffentlich für die Gleichberechtigung der Frau ein. Ihr privates Glück findet sie nur schwer: Ihre Ehe mit George P. Putnam geht sie nur widerstrebend ein, doch Liebe findet sie erst in einer leidenschaftlichen Affäre zu Gene Vidal.

MY SISTER’S KEEPER
Conceived by means of in vitro fertilization , Anna Fitzgerald ( Abigail Breslin ) was brought into the world to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate ( Sofia Vassilieva ), who suffers from acute promyelocytic leukemia , in order to keep her alive. Her family members are introduced one by one and each tells about how Kate's illness has affected them personally. When Kate turns 15, she goes into renal failure . Eleven-year-old Anna knows that she will be forced by her parents to donate one of her kidneys. She also realizes that she may not be able to live the life she will want to lead - she may be unable to cheer-lead, play soccer , or be a mother. Anna tells her parents that she does not want any of this, and proceeds to sue them for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body. Her extremely overprotective mother, Sara ( Cameron Diaz ), who leads an obsessive campaign to keep Kate alive, is indignant at Anna's decision and even strikes her across the face when she receives the notice of intended prosecution. Attorney Campbell Alexander ( Alec Baldwin ) agrees to work for Anna as her guardian ad litem , suing for partial termination of parental rights . It is later learned he agreed to take the case not for the notoriety, but because he has epilepsy and understands her predicament of not having control over her own body.
Zwei ganz normale Geschwister scheinen Kate und Anna auf den ersten Blick zu sein, doch ihre Beziehung ist eine weit tiefere. Das Schicksal meint es mit der Familie Fitzgerald nicht gut, Kate leidet seit ihrem zweiten Lebensjahr an Leukämie. Also haben ihre Eltern, Sara und Brian, entschieden Anna als Retortenbaby zur Welt zu bringen, damit sie ihre ältere Schwester am Leben erhalten kann. Doch mit elf Jahren will Anna endlich selbst über ihren Körper bestimmen und sucht die Hilfe eines Anwalts.
