Last Week
あらすじ・解説
A child cherishes every second of their grandmother's last week of life in this sensitive portrayal of medical assistance in dying (MAiD).
“In this last week, there are seven days.” That's 168 hours. Or 10,080 minutes. Or 664,800 seconds. A child counts every second because this is their grandmother’s last week of life.
664,800
As friends and family come to call on Flippa - as Gran is fondly known - the child observes the strange mix of grief, humour, awkwardness, anger and nostalgia that attends these farewell visits. Especially precious are the times they have alone, just the two of them. Flippa, the child sees, has made up her mind. Like time, she is unstoppable. So as Sunday approaches, the child must find a way to come to terms with Flippa’s decision. What is the best way to say goodbye?
Last Week is a nuanced look at what death with dignity can mean to a whole family, with an afterword and additional resources by MAiD expert Dr. Stefanie Green.
