When Kerstin Polte's tragicomedy premiered at the International Filmfestival of Locarno, her wise and sensitive screenplay about active euthanasia was praised on all sides.

"Dying. What's so brave about it? It's a feat pulled off by everyone".

Elisabeth is not yet ready to let go, and Robert is unable to hold onto her. Eye to eye with death, they meet a second time on a journey from moment to moment, where closeness arises and fear disappears. Her last day of life resembles her first.

LAST ROUND is a film about death - and how to remain alive until the last moment. "An open-minded and hopeful film about an explosive topic: dying." (Seraina Rohrer, Director Solothurner Filmtage)
