Rebecca is 17 years old when her life comes to a tragic end. But in her short life she has fulfilled all she has dreamed of.
Rebecca does not want much: Only travel to Spain once - that's what she wants. And kiss a boy in the rain. Maybe even save a life. With the start of high school, the cheerful girl writes a bucket list - uncertain when her wishes will come true.
After a few years, the (now) 17-year-old student completed the first two points - she was in Spain and she kissed a boy in the rain. But her third wish? This one has met Rebecca. She saved another person's life but had to give her own.
Rebecca's cousin Rachel says the young woman got her bucket list out on the day of her high school graduation. She put her on her bed - not realizing that soon her third wish will come true.

The cheerful girl looks at fireworks with her former classmate Benjamin Arne. As they cross a road, a car crosses its path. Very selflessly, Rebecca pushes her friend aside, throws herself in front of him and saves his life. Your own will be finished at this moment.

With a heartfelt word, Rebecca's cousin Rachel says goodbye. Seeing Rebecca die was a big loss. But Rebecca would want us to continue living in her spirit. So take a moment and hug the person you hug far too rarely. And then do it again and again and again ... Take a moment and tell a person you seldom say, I love you. And then tell him again. We are all older than 17 years and every day we have the chance to say 'I love you'. '
