Sequoia (2014 film)

Sequoia is a 2014 American comedy film directed by Andy Landen, written by Andrew Rothschild, and starring Aly Michalka, Dustin Milligan, Joey Lauren Adams, Lou Diamond Phillips, Corbin Frost and Sophi Bairley.

Van reluctantly tells their father, Oscar (Todd Lowe), that Riley is in Sequoia with lethal drugs.

In the morning, Ogden finds Riley at the hotel’s pool where she shows him the effects of her oral cancer.

It isn’t until Riley and Ogden reach a blocked road that she reveals to him that she’s taken lethal drugs and is running out of time.

She steals his car and drives away leaving him behind, but Ogden, having memorized her phone number from earlier, calls and promises that he’ll stay with her until the end wherever she wants to go.

There, she meets Colin (Lou Diamond Phillips), a man with AIDS who prays to the tree, by telling it his disease, why he wants to live, for how many years, and what he promises to do if he gets his wish.
