A bleak existential meditation on mortality, faith, and the search for meaning in the face of terminal illness, told through a doctor's unraveling certainties.

Tomasz, a doctor, and atheist, is diagnosed with cancer. His ex-wife offers him the money for treatment in Paris, but his lung cancer is past the operating stage. Facing imminent death, he questions the beliefs he has held all his life and starts experimenting with both his own life and those of others.
