Simply dying it i s not. It is not easy to die.
Juliane's mother is only 64 years old. She is seriously ill and lives in a nursing home. Now she wants to die and stops eating and drinking. Juliane accompanies her mother through this process. Friends and acq uaintances come to visit. They say goodbye. Juliane too, very slowly. Dying takes time, but it is quite peaceful, sometimes provocative. The outcome is already certain. Her mother will soon be gone, while Juliane's life goes on. She wants to hel p her mothe r, yet she knows she cannot take the dying away from her. Days turn into weeks. Daughter a nd mother are infinitely close, physically and spiritually. Until something separates them: the longed for death.
