- Synopsis
- The film begins with the main character taking a fatal dosage of sleeping pills leading to her death. Ellie, born to wealth and prestige on the surface seemed to have everything she wanted in life. However, having lived through a series of life events leading to hopelessness and despair she takes a fatal dosage of sleeping pills and during the last minutes before her death calls Deborah, a life counselor to make her last confession.
  
  Deborah was born to a single mum with a history of drug and alcohol abuse and was later adopted raised by a wholesome Greek family. Iris, an adopted child with an Asian background suffers from post-traumatic disorder from repeated sexual abuse from childhood by her adopted father. Mossi, a young Frenchman rebels against his father who has too high a expectation from him. He portrays a character who has lost a sense of direction in life and lingers in a meaningless cycle of life.
  
  The film on the one side focuses on the growing trend of people who choose the ultimate road to suicide as the last resort as a solution to their life problems and on the other tries to provide a view that no matter what, life is still worth living.
