And, the main thing, she doesn't recognize her current life at all.

Leo par’ all this he will not put down easily: will do what,what he will do to win back Paige's heart, as if they knew each other from the beginning.
A REAL LOVE STORY... FROM THE BEGINNING.
For many years, Spyglass Entertainment President Roger Birnbaum wondered if there was a love story that had never been told on the big screen. Until he read in the newspaper about the true story of Kim and Cricket Carpenter from New Mexico: "I read about a couple where the wife completely lost her memory of her husband after a car accident," recalls the producer., which was automatically inspired by this unusual incident. The story of the Carpenters, which even became a book 2000, could be the basis for a promising scenario. Producer Jonathan Glickman explains: "It's a really original story, based on true events, that speaks to all people worldwide, because it deals with the need to adapt to change if you want to keep a relationship alive. She is very emotional by nature, but we didn't want to fall into the trap of melodrama. Our aim was to raise it to the level of classic love stories like 'Our Best Years' and 'Love Story'. We considered including other relationships, with parents, brothers and friends, but also a dose of humor so that it doesn't seem like we take ourselves too seriously".
In order to capture all this on paper, a whole decade had to pass: after several attempts by screenwriters, the producers finally received a version that met their requirements. The next step was to find the right director – which in the end turned out to be rather easy. “When we first met Michael Souksi he won us over straight away. He had identified elements in the story that none of us had thought about," recalls Glickman. "What touched me the most when I read the script was that it described something that could happen to any of us. Usually when we talk about memory loss it has to do with Alzheimer's and old age, while through this story we can all identify with the problem" says Souksi.
