Egon and Maren lose their adult son. Together with their daughter Line, who has an intellectual disability, they must try to find their way back to life.

A small Danish family is tightly knit, until they suddenly lose one of their closest relatives. THE REST OF LIFE is a warm and intimate family drama about what happens to the family dynamic when everyone is in the middle of the tragedy. Maren and Egon live a quiet and contented life in a small town in Southern Jutland. They have a good relationship with their two adult children, they have pleasant jobs and hobbies and everyone meets for breakfast every time someone has a birthday. But then tragedy strikes, completely out of the blue, and the family members' different ways of grieving drive them further and further apart.—Filmweb
