[Machine Translation] Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival! Lonely souls come together in an intimate final moment. A nurse's devotion and conflict lead to the end of a beautiful life. The "ending" that caused an uproar around the world will pierce your heart. --David (Tim Roth) is a nurse for terminally ill patients. He lives alone, estranged from his wife and daughter since the death of his son Dan. He has no other life than to provide in-home nursing care and exercise for his patients, and he too needs a closer relationship with them than they could ever hope to have. One day David is asked by Martha ( Robin Bartlett ), suffering from terminal cancer, to assist her in euthanasia. David is torn between his deep feelings for the patient and his own dark past.
