Louisa Clark, the lead character in Me Before You, played by Emilia Clarke, is a sweet, kind-hearted girl with an exceedingly positive outlook on life and a colorful, juvenile wardrobe. She has never ventured far from her small-town in the English countryside, seemingly content with her dolt of a boyfriend and her dead-end job. That all changes, of course, when she meets Will Traynor, the former Master of the Universe whose large, adventurous life is upended after a motorcycle accident leaves him a quadriplegic. Once she becomes his caregiver, Louisa starts discovering how large her life can be and he urges her to explore the world beyond her small town.
