La clinique du docteur Kruger reçoit une subvention gouvernementale afin que le suicide ne soit plus une tragédie, mais un acte médical assisté. Chaque jour, le docteur Kruger reçoit ses riches patients, les écoute et examine avec eux les motifs qui justifient - ou non - leur décision finale. Avant de passer à l’acte, chacun a le droit à un dernier souhait : déjeuner spécial, vin d’excellence, call-girl ou toute autre lubie personnelle. Mais la publicité autour de la clinique fait monter l’opposition des villages avoisinants, et quelque chose vient lui rappeler que personne ne contrôle vraiment la Mort...

Il Dr Kruger vuole dare un senso al suicidio. Il suo sogno è creare una struttura terapeutica dove darsi la morte non sia più considerata una disgrazia, ma un atto consapevole svolto con assistenza medica. La sua clinica esclusiva tuttavia richiama l'attenzione di un gruppo di strani personaggi...

Medical pioneer Dr Kruger wants to modernize suicide. His dream is to create a therapeutic framework where suicide is no longer a tragedy but a simple, medically assisted act. His exclusive clinic attracts a cast of strange characters with a death wish: a famous comedian with terminal cancer, a travelling salesman hiding sordid secrets, a rich Luxembourg heir, a beautiful but auto-destructive young girl, an old Berlin cabaret singer whose voice is destroyed and a man who has lost everything to his gambling addiction, including his wife.

After Dr Kruger consults with each of them about their motives to end it all, each one has the right to a final request. But in the isolated mountains where the good doctor Kruger realizes his dream of the “perfect suicide”, Death itself, unwilling to bend to his commands, strikes only when IT decides the time has come.
