The DVD bonus features include deleted scenes and commentary from Alejandro Amenábar (The Others), the film’s director, co-writer, editor, composer and co-producer.

SYNOPSIS Based on the profoundly moving true story that captured the world’s attention, The Sea Inside centers around Spanish poet Ramón Sampedro (Bardem), who fought a 30-year campaign to win the right to end his life with dignity. The film tells the story of Ramón’s relationships with two women: Julia (Belén Rueda) a lawyer who supports his cause, and Rosa (Lola Dueñas), a local woman who wants to convince him that life is worth living. Through the gift of his love, these women are inspired to accomplish things they never previously dreamed possible. Despite his wish to die, Ramón taught everyone he encountered the meaning, value and preciousness of life. Though he could not move himself, he had an uncanny ability to move others. A truly joyous experience, The Sea Inside celebrates the nature of freedom and love, and the mystery and beauty of life. The Sea Inside has been recognized by critical acclaim and nominations for awards the world over, including: Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film; Golden Globe® Award for Best Foreign Film; Independent Spirit Award for Best Foreign Film; Jury Grand Prize and Best Actor Awards from the 2004 Venice Film Festival and National Board of Review Award for Best Foreign Film.
