Hello everyone. I m really excited that I found this forum, I think Im in the right place, to find the movie I looking for a long time.
I cant remember the title, also I dont know who the actors are, but how I remember the movie is from 1996... The movie is based on a true story and centers around a young woman, Linda, who is the nurse of a deceased man, she manipulates the dead man's body to make the outside world believe that he is still alive, she is speak from the belly
The man, Albert, is in a wheelchair .The woman does everything in her power to control the situation surrounding the man while secretly pursuing her own goals.
In advance thanks for help



I don't actually wear pants.
There's this:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149367/?ref_=hm_rvi_i_1
He's alive and named Henry, but Paul Newman plays a professional bank robber paralyzed by a stroke, and an actress named Linda Fiorentino who plays a nurse named Carol uses her connection to the bank robber to make her life exciting. It could be the same thing, although I am unsure if she speaks through his belly. She also suspects he isn't really paralyzed.

"Weekend at Bernie's" was from 1989, not based on a true story, and had two young men trying to keep from finding out that their boss was dead. They keep having to manipulate is corpse in funny ways.
Weekend at Bernie's II was made in 1993, and I haven't seen it.
I very much doubt that the story you are describing could be based on a true story. I suspect you are not a native speaker of English, so when you say "speak from the belly" you mean what in English we call "ventriloquism" which does indeed come from the Latin meaning "to speak from the belly". But in fact, ventriloquists do NOT speak from the belly.
What language was the movie in?
