"What happens to us when we are dying? What happens to all our memories, collected over a lifetime? Painful memories, wonderful memories; memories not just of our life, but of our lives with others. Our family is there, our friends, too. The faces of our colleagues and acquaintances are logged in our memory. And then there are strangers, whose out-of-the-ordinary behaviour or look simply stayed with us. But when we die, do all of those memories die with us? In a stunning, breathtaking fashion, director Derick Crucius imagines what happens in the minutes after death. Guided by a subconscious mind, he takes us on a journey through a possible world, one that is deeply experiential and moving."

Note: Please watch with headphone and in complete darkness.
