Terminally-ill Lea surprises her family with her wish to die, consciously and controlled, on her own birthday. Her mother tries everything to prevent the plan. But things turn out differently. Tragic and dignified.

22-year-old Lea travels to Zurich despite her terminal illness. After years of suffering, suicide seems to be her only solution. She has made her decision and seems to be relieved that she will be able to leave her illness behind. She sends her sister Rita, her overwhelmed mother Hannah, and her grandmother Maria a text-message: she wants to spend her very last day, her own birthday, with her family. Her ex-boyfriend Heiner finds out about her trip to Zurich. And at her hotel, Lea meets somewhat-strange but likable Moritz, who has come to Zurich for the same reason. In Zurich, parallel words collide: Lea is determined but encounters fierce resistance from her own inner circle of loved ones.—ARRI worldsales
