I laughed, I cried, I loved this film.
Old people in a retirement home face illness and dementia every day. When the wife of a very sick friend tells the patent inventor Yehezkel that her husband is desperate to die and end the pain, Yehezkel builds an appropriate machine.
The emotional and the moral aspects of helping with self-euthanasia come up. It's always subtle, or really painful, or funny-and the narrative is never longer than it should.
There's even a scene with a song-and it is subversive and moving-brings Almodovar to mind.
Great acting of everyone.
There are some glitches in the Portuguese subtitles, but maybe not in English-and either way, it's not that bad.
