In a ramshackle house full of memories, a grandfather cares for his grandson and must care for himself. One week passes and nothing is going to be the same again. With a esthetic inspired by the litheographs from Ars Moriendi - medieval manuals for a good dying, this documentry proposes disturbing, sometimes grotesque, sometimes harsh, vision of death, which aways - and in the most unexpected ways - nurtures life.
