At 89, Gertrud Forster has maintained her vitality and autonomy. Her greatest fear is to become senile and end up in a terminal care facility. An elegant Englishman comes to her home, assuring her that she had contacted him through an online dating site for the elderly. In a panic at this proof of her failing memory, Gertrud wants to take action to end her life on her own terms. Her care provider, the members of her family, and her admirer are unwilling to go along with her plan. (Montreal World Film Festival)
