    • Synopsis
    • The doctor told the truth. The days are numbered.
      Why me and why now?
      A man leaves wife and children behind, parents, friends, neighbours and yesterday’s lover, the people in his life.
      Day by day a little farewell.
      Words are getting rare, longer the silence.
      In front of the window the year changes its colours.
      Dying is a final work to do.
      Not being alone while you are left behind alone, maybe that’s a good thing.
