An elderly married couple decides to dress up nicely and lay down in two coffins in the living room of their neat apartment – ready to leave this world together. But suddenly the husband's mobile rings. He persuades his wife to play domino with their friends one last time, and he promises her that they will die soon. But then again, he finds an excuse for them not to die yet. Over and over again, the death of the nice couple is delayed. After all, despite their advanced age, there is still so much left to experience. Ukrainian filmmaker Christina Sivolap has found an unusually humorous way to handle the topic of death, which is often dealt with in endless tragedy. Ultimately, it is good to know that dying is not everything in life.
