A deeply intimate family drama that confronts mortality and end-of-life choice through the lens of generational conflict and unresolved grief.

Three generations of a family gather over a weekend. The sisters Sanne and Heidi have accepted their terminally-ill mother’s desire to die before her disease worsens; but, as the weekend progresses, their mother's decision becomes harder and harder to deal with, and old conflicts come to the surface.
