Film Synopsis
After coming to terms with a terminal illness, Mona, an attractive woman
in her late thirties, decides she is ready to die. With the support
of her devoted husband Daniel, a writer, she has opted for a programme of
assisted suicide, to be administered across the border in Switzerland.
After leaving their darling eight-year-old daughter in the care of her grandmother,
the couple set out for Lausanne and check into a hotel for what will be their
last weekend together. It is an emotional parting and whilst Mona is
ready for death, Daniel is inwardly traumatised by the impending separation
from his beloved. Back home in France, their little girl has no idea
that she will never see her mother again. Just how will Daniel break
the news to her? How will he be able to cope without his wife - the
wife he helped to kill? Love is tearing him apart...
