The hotel is Madeira's first purpose built 5-star resort property as well as being the first new built 5-star hotel there for the past 17 years. Sporting facilities at the Cliff include tennis and squash and a health club. Also it has got a conference room which can accommodate up to 132 delegates as well as three additional meeting rooms.

Summary of the film.

LOVE STORY.

It's a story about a boy and a girl at Harvard University. The boy was from a rich family and the girl was from a poor family. She hated rich boys. The first time they met was when the boy went to the library to borrow a book and she was off with him but he fell in love with her and they started a relation. He played ice-hockey. There was always differences of opinion because of the class status. They went to live together and she developped cancer. For the first time, he realizes how much she means to him. The boyfriend needed money because his girlfriend needs an operation to stay alive. He goes to the bank for money but he can't have money without his father's guarantee.
Summing up, he didn't want his father's help and the doctor told him, she was very bad ans she would die. Time goes by and eventually she died.

It was a very sad film but very realistic.


I have learned:
- humble: it means humil in Catalan.
