Director's statement

My friend's grandmother was in a critical condition. At that time, all the family members were afraid to take a decision. When my friend came home, he saw that his grandmother was in a lot of pain. Finally, he chose to euthanize his grandmother.

He decided to let her die.

When I learnt of this decision, I was shocked, because my mother took care of my paralyzed grandmother for ten years. During that decade, my grandmother suffered a lot. She asked my mum to let her die, but mum insisted: if she was not taken away by God, she should live on.

She let her continue to live.

Faced once again with a family's life or death choice, I attempted to convey the situation truthfully through my camera.

This film was shot in one 65-minute take. It may be just a brief glimpse of life, but I hope the time and space of viewing are exactly the same as the time and space of recording. I tried to preserve the true texture of the event.
