    Film about boy with leukemia
    Hi. I'm looking for a film on behalf of my mother. She thinks it was released around the time of Kramer v Kramer, so late 70s/early 80s

    All she remembers is that a boy is getting nosebleeds and he finds out he has a terminal illness (she thinks leukemia) and that at the end of the film he is with his dad and dies on a roundabout. Also, she has in her mind that there is something to do with snow or mountains, but this may not be true so you can ignore this part.

    We have been trying tofind this film for years now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Going to throw this out there, any chance it's this:
