The journey of a remarkable young Berlin woman facing her imminent death. Halina has gracefully accepted that she is dying of cancer. But a burning desire to return to her family studio over two hours away, in Lübbow, and to relive the spring festival, becomes her last wish. Surrounding herself in beauty, she shares her thoughts about her life and dying, spends moments with her family and little daughter, and prepares for the last journey. An intimate story of embracing the unknown.
