The life of Karsten, a mortician, isnât going that well at the moment. Just in time for Christmas, his parents inform him during the festive dinner that they want to commit suicide together. In ïŹve days. Usually used to death, he tries everything to convince the dear mother Marion and the father Theodor, suïŹering from Parkinsonâs disease, not to pursue their plan. But the conïŹict about the self-determined death opens up old wounds â and as Karstenâs own health deteriorates rapidly, it is no longer clear who needs to be saved.
