Set between 1980 and 2002, the film based on a true story that revolves around a healthy Belgian with big ambitions, Mario Verstraete. One day, he is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Then, he mounts a vigorous campaign to legalize euthanasia in Belgium. His plan works and the Belgian government approves an enactment on 28 May 2002: euthanasia is allowed when an adult victim can’t be cured, has to live in unworthy conditions, and at least three doctors confirm this situation. Verstraete was the first Belgian to commit euthanasia on 30 September 2002.
