About
A thought-provoking drama:
A vibrant man fights for the right to choose to die. A successful sculptor is paralyzed in a car accident and kept alive by support systems in a hospital. Outwardly he's cheerful and often very funny, but he's overwhelmed by the fact that he has lost control of his own life.
Set in the early 1970s, a battle of wits ensues between man and the hospital over his wishes versus their stance that euthanasia is not only illegal but that doctors must try to preserve life and cannot destroy it.
