Susan Sarandon is the central character, she has an illness that is progressing such that soon she will not be able to use any motor functions. So she and her doctor husband in Connecticut decide she will take a drug that will put her to sleep from which she will never wake up. Just slip away like being "black birded."
As a final goodbye family are invited for a weekend at the seaside home, there are squabbles, some misunderstandings, but all the acting is good. It raises lots of questions about the ethics of "end of life" decisions. I had to ask my wife "Who is your best friend" so I'd know who to start an affair with if she gets in this situation.
Curiously it was filmed in England even though set in Connecticut, it has several foreign actors all doing their best American accent. The script does acknowledge that what they are doing is illegal in most states but they planned it such that it wouldn't implicate the husband.
My wife and I watched it at home via Amazon streaming movies.
