Our take

Exploring the sensitive subject of euthanasia with nuance and delightful humor, this award-winning Israeli comedy follows a group of audacious elders who find ingenious ways and odd machines to bring peace to their companions. These warm-hearted characters are as compassionate as they are crafty.
