The young and driven family doctor Mirjam flourishes in the medicine most steeped in fear and taboo: end-of-life care. She helps patients with a terminal illness live what remains of their lives as fully as possible. And ultimately, she fulfills their wish to die with dignity and comfort by giving them palliative sedation or euthanasia. When the doctor becomes a palliative patient herself, she has one final mission: to shatter the taboo on dying and improve end-of-life care from her unique double perspective. Living and working on the cutting edge of life and death, Mirjam is determined to change the way we think about both.
