This film adaptation of writer Emmanuèle Bernheim’s account of her father’s death is Ozon’s critically acclaimed feature exposing a controversial topic with intelligence and wit.

The dilemma of assisted dying forms one key part, the complexity of troubled family relationships forms the other; both are handled with honesty and tenderness.

A strong cast commits authenticity to the dilemmas their characters grapple with. Potentially a deeply affecting watch, it explores with sensitivity the importance of choice when seeking dignity at the end of life.

Note: Contains scenes of stroke aftermath and end of life family discussion.
