with audience discussion after the film

The film seeks a sensitive and powerful way of dealing with the subject of death and dying. Hospices are living places. They are about life, which can find its final phase as painlessly and dignified as possible. Death and dying are not a sacrilege that is not talked about here, but rather an attempt is made together to find a relaxed and safe way of dealing with the subject of death.

Film content:
Nadine, a young mother, is suffering from terminal cancer. She says goodbye to her home and her previous life and does not voluntarily move into a hospice.
Her mother Renate, herself overwhelmed by the situation of having to accompany her own child on this last stage of her journey, tries to take over the organisation, also in order to escape her grief.
Angry about the situation forced upon her, Nadine sits in her hospice room and longs for her flat and her six-year-old son Dexter.
Over the course of the film, she slowly accepts her new, final home, where one last shared apartment gathers. Little by little, she comes into contact with the other residents of the hospice and begins to come to terms with her own situation and that of the others - angry and aggressive, sensitive and rude, cheerful and sad.
