Julie Walters stars in a one-off drama inspired by the true story of Dr Anne Turner, who in 2006 took her own life in a Zurich clinic having developed an incurable degenerative disease.
Having recently witnessed the death of her husband from a neurological disease, Anne Turner is diagnosed with a near-identical illness and determines to end her life once her condition has reached a critical point.
As her health deteriorates, Anne's son and two daughters struggle to reach a consensus over their mother's intentions and while they search for alternative options, silent recriminations and stubborn practicality threaten to tear the family apart. With her family at logger heads, Anne must also face the fury of her best friend, whose opposing views bring them into direct conflict.

跟一个月前看的法国片《Quelques Heures de Printemps同一个题材的,都是老太太去瑞士安乐死。但那个片子拍得冷峻多了,这个感觉亲切些,尤其是三个很孝顺的子女温情了好多。印象很深的细节有两个,一个是最后医生回答她安乐死的药没有失败过得时候她失望的唏嘘了声,一个是她说我度过了精彩的一生。
