A provocative perspective about death. Bureaucratic, cold and bizarre. But not exactly so surprising.

A man in a waiting room, not knowing what expect, where he is or the manner to leave.

A consultant very near by his retirement giving not exactly the expected answers, after the basic solve of enigma. First because it is hurry, second because it is the last day of interwies. Not the last because all is so familiar than the liberty who comes become true is the basic motif for a sort of small gestures of presumed kindness. Like the stubborness of his client, full of desillusions, looking for explanations and certitudes, tool of his selfishness.

In short, a very nice film. Beautiful acted and having the gift of inspired dialogue. Not the last, you feel yourself as a sort of witness of conversation. Or, maybe, a sort of heir of Mr. Schaeffer.
