"Breathtaking performances all round, another example of Australian cinema at its best." -Jaclyn Birtchnall, Alternative Melbourne
Charlie (Vince Colosimo) and Anna (Maria Theodorakis) are Gavin's (David Bonney) two best friends. They made a pact to assist the terminally ill Gavin to die when the time came. However, despite a massive overdose of morphine, Gavin stays alive. Charlie ends up slipping a plastic bag over Gavin's head and suffocating him. This is hardly the dignified death that they had all planned. But it's the beginning of an emotional roller coaster ride, which takes Charlie and Anna through the highs and lows of the grief experience from illicit affairs and left-over morphine to devastating accusations and unwitting betrayals. At the end of the day, Charlie and Anna are forced to face the true meaning of friendship, loyalty and love.
