It doesn’t get any more alive than this: an ensemble drama about impending death, as well as a contemporary dance musical that captures the irrepressible essence of life.

Claudia (Ángela Molina) and her partner Flavio live in an apartment full of plants and books, with roses blooming in the courtyard. But there are clouds hanging over the idyll, as Claudia has a brain tumor. Together as a couple, Claudia and Flavio have decided to take their fate into their own hands and end their elderly lives in Switzerland. First, however, they must get married, and the whole family gathers for the event. Their adult daughter Violeta struggles to find her place within this bizarre tangle of love, life, and suffering.

In spectacular choreographies, a beautiful and spirited dance towards death plays out before our eyes. A cinematic celebration of life!
