In Jerusalem, Yehezkel and Levana live in a retirement home with other elders, including their friends Max and Yana. Max is terminal, using morphine to release the pain and wishes to die. Yana presses his best friend Yehezkel to kill him. After many insistence, he builds a self-euthanasia machine to finish the pain of his friend. He invites the gay veterinarian Dr. Daniel and his partner, the anesthetist Raffi Segal, to dose the drugs in the machine and Max kills himself. Out of the blue, there are rumors in the home about the machine and Carmon blackmails the group to let his wife, who is also terminal and with pain, use the machine. Meanwhile, Levana shows symptoms of dementia and her daughter Noa and the administrator of the home, Ziva, want to transfer her to another home with facility for mentally ill elders. But Yehezkel is reluctant to let his beloved wife go to another place.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
