Marked by the suffering of three close members of her family endured before they died, Muriel Brino is investigating in this film with Aurore Weber on what our society proposes to support patients at the end of their lives in order to avoid unnecessary painful and/or degrading moments The approach can be praised in that it comprehensively addresses the different ways to end one's life in dignity, whether through euthanasia, assisted suicide or deep sedation. Aurore Weber and her also prove exhaustive by interviewing not only specialists and people directly concerned by the problem but also representatives of five religions as well as personalities from the world of entertainment or literature such as Hugues Aufray, Agnès Soral, Bernie Bonvoisin, Noëlle Chatelet, Marthe Villalonga. Comparing Belgian and Luxembourg laws and practices with the French situation is also very enlightening. Knowing how to avoid any complacency, sensationalism or morbidity, the two directors propose an informative film that holds very well. A must see.
