Drama Three generations of a family gather over a weekend. The sisters Sanne and Heidi have accepted their terminally-ill mother’s desire to die before her disease worsens; but, as the weekend progresses, their mother's decision becomes harder and harder to deal with, and old conflicts come to the surface.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"A tastefully shot film at the services of its actors (...) It is, at times, intensely moving"	POS
United States	Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"Masterfully crafted family drama which tackles its tricky theme with a surfeit of restrained good taste"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"A standard-issue tearjerker (...) The only surprise is when the script goes from merely stereotyped to spectacularly farfetched."	NEG
Canada	Kwenton Bellette Screen Anarchy	"The chemistry between each family member and their personal growth on this fateful weekend are conveyed perfectly (...) A moody, complex and rich drama"	POS
	Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa	"The chamber setting of the house lends the film intensity such as the tough theme requires (...) Cinematographer Dirk Brüel does an excellent job"	POS
