Their respective families hold strong - perhaps too strong - opinions on the imminent marriage, and, on the big day, chaos ensues, making the young couple question their own readiness to commit to a union for life. Are their backgrounds really so different to tear them apart?

It's funny—or not.
There's a chateau in a beautiful wooded part of the country, full of the strangest group of guests you can imagine. And all they want, every last one of them, is to die. Meet Dr Kruger (Aurelien Recoing). His clinic cum hotel is the last word in customer satisfaction; your last wish is his command. But this is a one-way clinic: there are no return customers. Taking "assisted dying" to surreal if not absurd lengths, this very black comedy is further proof that Belgian cinema can always be counted on to be just a little bit - different.
