Description

As winter closes in, a retired American executive named David travels through Europe toward a Swiss clinic, carrying a private plan for the end of his life. Afflicted by dementia, he moves through airports, hotels, and half-remembered landscapes as the boundaries between present and past begin to dissolve. Memories of family, friendship, ambition, regret, and long-buried desire surface in fragments, revealing a man forced to confront both the emptiness and the meaning of his carefully constructed life. Darkly comic, hypnotic, and deeply moving, this uncompromising portrait of a mind unraveling explores mortality, loneliness, privilege, and what remains when certainty—and the self that depended on it—falls away.
