The film follows Dr. Johann Spittler, a German neuropsychiatrist and one of the few specialists qualified to assess the decision-making capacity of individuals seeking assisted suicide. For over two decades, he has examined people suffering from terminal illnesses, psychiatric disorders, or both, issuing approvals in more than 700 cases and has personally assisted a significant number of patients in their final act. Here is a direct and compelling glimpse into the challenging reality of a man whose work unfolds within a domain marked by controversy and uncertainty.
