57岁的simon罹患运动神经元病。他会在2年内逐渐失去语言、沟通、行动能力,对他来说,死亡赋予他生的尊严。他决定在10个月后去瑞士life circle clinic,花大约7000磅,接受安乐死。片子描述了simon和家人在10个月内的心理变化。simon一度打算放弃安乐死。但最终病情恶化,在家人和朋友的陪伴下,他控制安乐死点滴的开关,结束了自己的生命。

For Simon, he went to Switzerland at exactly the right time. But for the left, what they had to go through to end his life, it was extraordinary difficult.
