Inspirat din romanul lui Frank McCourt, premiat în 1997 cu premiul Pulitzer, POVESTEA VIEȚII MELE este istoria biografică fascinantă a lui Frank, care, începând cu vârsta de 5 ani, ne poartă într-o călătorie surprinzătoare, provocatoare și emoționantă prin viața sa. Cu umor și veselie, micul Frank asistă la eforturile mamei sale, Angela (Emily Watson), pentru a o scoate la capăt și a-i hrăni pe cei patru copii ai săi, în timp ce soțul ei alcoolic, șomer, Malachy Sr.(Robert Carlyle) uită de sine în cârciumă. Portretizând realitatea dificilă a foamei, a sărăciei și a privațiunilor sociale, filmul este o înfățișare genială a triumfului spiritului uman asupra vicisitudinilor soartei. O odă unică închinată spiritului uman, umorului și bunătății.
