My name is Max Isaksen.

Today is January 10, 2019.

When you watch this, I will

be dead.

-Max? -Yes.

My name is Karen.

Come in.

Here are the papers.

That's fine.

Thank you.

-I will also need your mobile phone. -Yes.

And the wallet?

-Yes. -Okay.

Good morning, Max and happy birthday.

I hope you had an optimal night's sleep.

Please rate it on a scale from 1 to 10.

6.

Please rate your physical well-being

on a scale from 1 to 10.

5.

Thanks, Max.

You have a personal reminder, practice rhyme.

She sells seashells by the seashore. How can a clam cram in a clean cream.

She sells seashells by the seashore. How can a clam cram in a clean cream.

Thank you, Max.

Have a nice day.

I need to sit down.

Happy birthday.

-You've been busy. -No, not really.

You're sweet.

Come on.

There you go.

-Cheers. -In weird green stuff.

Oh, it's gross!

At least it's healthy.

I'm meeting Erik at the office today.

Are you going back to work?

I'm really glad to hear that.

-Don't you also have that... -It's after the scan. This afternoon.

Alice, I'm really sorry. I wish there was something we could do.

But we cannot pay out the life insurance

if we aren't 100 per cent certain that your husband, Arthur, is dead.

Of course he's dead.

Yesterday, it was six months since Arthur disappeared.

You're my insurance company. Isn't this why I've paid you?

Are you listening?

Yes...

Look at this, Max.

Your tumour has grown significantly.

And it can't be surgically removed. It's simply too dangerous.

It's not very good news.

It's not.

What about the diet changes and the app monitoring?

I took time off.

I know this is quite tough.

You haven't had any other symptoms than the speech disorder?

No.

You have to prepare yourself for the fact that a tumour this size may change you.

So Max, if there's anything you really need to do, now is a good time. Okay?

EVERYTHING STILL OKAY?

IT'S ALL GOOD

I'm sorry. I spoke to my sister.

-Happy birthday. -Thank you.

And congratulations to us. We're going travelling.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

In the first week, we're staying in that luxury lodge.

And today, I spoke to that shark cage diving company you mentioned.

And you can do it.

There's only room for one, so I'll make a sacrifice for you.

You're not happy.

Yes, I'm very happy.

I'll be imitating all the animals of the savannah,

if you don't start smiling properly.

Sorry.

That's more like it. Cheers.

What are you having?

I don't know. How about you?

The same as you.

No, it's your birthday. You decide.

Exactly.

I think we should have scallops, asparagus and mango compote.

That sounds delicious.

Is something wrong?

Lærke, there's something I need to tell you.

I know.

Erik called me earlier when you didn't show up.

Yes...

I just couldn't do it.

I understand.

I need to use the restroom.

You have a personal reminder.

Practice rhyme.

How can a clam cram...

I know. He's shutting himself off.

I am trying.

I don't know how long I can cope with this.

Yes. Okay. We'll talk tomorrow.

Max?

Thank you and good morning.

There you go.

There's a wardrobe over there.

You can put your old clothes in the bag there.

There are coats, if you want to go outside.

I can see that your start-up meeting is set for tomorrow at 1 p.m.

That'll give you time for a good night's sleep.

Sit down.

I'll get someone to send up some food for you.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

I think you're doing really, really well.

I'll pop in to check on you in a minute.

Okay?

It's normal to feel like this on the first day.

You'll be good.

I promise you.

I know it.

It's just the emotion.

It's so overwhelming.

I feel so ungrateful after everything you've been doing.

You shouldn't.

Good morning, Max.

Good morning.

Oh, I'm sorry crying like this.

We're so fortunate.

We should enjoy it, shouldn't we?

Friendly face.

I'm Ari.

I'm Max.

Max.

Nice to meet you, Max.

So what are we supposed to talk about around here?

Maybe not the future.

Hungry?

Yeah.

I'm starving.

Drives me crazy I'm in here.

Inhale to breathe.

Enters the body.

Where it is the most brazen.

Your nose, your chest, your gut.

Breathe.

Pay attention to your brain.

into your mind.

Breathe.

In and out.

Breathe.

Pay attention to your brain.

Breathe.

In and out.

Breathe.

-A circle? -No.

A snake?

A sun?

No.

A spider?

A birthday cake.

-The one you made when I turned 40. -Right.

That would have been my next guess.

You only get one.

I know.

Shall I make you some coffee?

Yes, please. Thanks.

Don't forget your coffee.

Thank you.

Lærke?

What?

Excuse me?

Have you got a minute?

Do you know how to make a noose?

Yes. What sort of noose do you want?

Something's going to hang from it.

Right.

This is a fairly standard one.

Like so...

-And that's sturdy enough? -Oh, yes.

How much does it need to carry?

92 kilograms or so.

Well, it can easily do that, so...

Thank you.

Simba.

Yes?

It's Alice Dinesen.

Sorry for contacting you like this, but it's important.

I have found proof that Arthur is dead.

So I wondered if you could stop by?

-Do you take milk or sugar? -No, that's fine. Thank you.

Arthur...

...often spoke about suicide, but...

...he always found a way out of it again, so...

My name is Author Dinesen.

Today is January 7, 2018.

I hereby confirm that I, own my own free will

and with assistance of this hotel and its staff,

I decided to take my life today.

When you watch this, I will be dead.

Darling...

I don't know how it came to this.

But it did.

This is for the best.

You know I love you.

You also need to know

that there was nothing you could have done or said

for me to get better.

I know you'll hate me when you see this.

But that will pass.

And then you'll remember the good things as well.

How did you get this video?

It came in this one.

There's also a phone number with a voicemail.

I left a message, but they haven't called back.

Isn't the video proof enough?

Perhaps.

I'll have to look into that.

But this is really good.

Yes.

Thank you.

You may think this is about money, but it's not.

It's not about the life insurance anymore.

It's about me wanting closure.

I need someone to tell me that this is over.

This is the Hotel Aurora.

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

We have read your file carefully

and your request has now been approved.

A representative of ours will text

you regarding your transfer.

Please make sure to bring your passport, medical files,

and bank information.

Once you have signed our agreement,

your decision can then no longer be canceled or postponed.

- A - painless injection

to the sound of the song which best represents your life.

A slightly psychedelic and relaxing

inhalation with a view of the stars.

We will create exactly the situation

or standard that fulfills your desire

for a satisfactory goodbye.

The Aurora, a beautiful ending.

What are your thoughts, Max?

Do you have anything that doesn't hurt?

Most of our procedures are painless.

You can have it exactly the way you want it.

There are no taboos here.

I tried with a rope, but it wasn't really successful.

It's not something we'd recommend.

Maybe just a pill.

I'm used to pills.

Yes.

Any particular surroundings?

Maybe in my room?

That's fine.

I will make the necessary arrangements.

We will then record your farewell statement,

and then you'll be ready for your final journey.

Max...

You have chosen to end it now.

And that is your right. It's your decision.

And it's okay.

All we have to do now is to give you that honest and beautiful ending.

Do you understand?

Yes, I think so.

Good.

Max, wasn't it?

Yes.

How lovely.

We're neighbors, then.

I'm Jenny.

I'm OK again.

Sometimes, I just get a bit miserable

and that's when I have my doubts.

Tell me, Max.

You think you meet the ones you love on the other side?

You think they're waiting, like in films?

I'm a bit tired.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I'm babbling.

That's me.

I'll leave you in peace now.

Jenny?

Huh?

It was nice meeting my neighbor.

Thank you.

This way.

So because of the permafrost, I don't

recommend old fashioned burial.

But I can recommend freeze drying, instead.

It's eco sustainable.

Of course, we also have our more exclusive services.

Circle of life is our most popular one.

Perhaps your parting counselor told you about it?

So simply put, it means that your earthly remains

feed a plant of your choosing.

Just regular cremation and a way to burn.

The biodegradable one.

Sure.

YOU WILL GET OUT

I just wanted to tell you that this

is the right decision for me.

This is the...

Sorry, man.

Wow, eh?

Is it Max?

It's my last night.

I feel like I should be frightened.

I'm not.

Good.

Weird?

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Um, do you like yourself?

Like, can you enjoy your own company?

You know, I hoped life, um, gets better.

It gets worse.

But when... you know when you can't fucking stand yourself,

you know what's the point?

What's the poi...

Can I trust you, Max?

Of course.

Hey?

Oh.

Max, this is poppy tea.

It's better with, um, sugar and lemon.

Poppy?

Opium.

Here, have some lemon.

Cheers.

I don't feel anything.

Mm.

You will.

I would like a drink, a drink that blows my mind.

Make it two.

I will be dead in two days.

How about you?

I'm staying.

I work here.

Stand in.

Oh.

Who do you stand in for?

Mom.

I usually play someone's mom.

Ah.

I think that's the most beautiful thing.

And I am sure you are loving mother.

But I think you are too sexy.

You know, they keep telling me I'm too old for that job.

It's either the whore or the Madonna.

Men are that simple.

You know, I do an impeccable Marilyn Monroe.

Some like it hot.

They do.

Is either orgasm...

Or?

Or in their mother's arms.

It's distressing, really, how a whole gender

can be so unimaginative.

...could make this job.

Pretty boring.

Max!

Come on.

You should see this.

Look at this.

Where have you been, Max?

Man, I've figured it out right?

It's OK.

We're gonna be OK.

We just gotta breathe, man.

Just

breathe.

Max, you're not allowed to be here.

You have to leave.

Let's go.

I've brought hot tea and sandwiches and a stiff drink

to wash them down with.

Oh.

You like some?

OK.

Here you are.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I don't know what to make of it, Max.

Being here.

I don't know what I'm supposed to say or think.

When I start to speak, I stop myself.

And I ask is this really what you want to say when

you've only got 24 hours left?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe I'm wasting precious time.

It's difficult not to think all the time.

What do you most feel like doing right now?

Dancing.

I want to dance.

I don't really dance that well.

-Hi. -Hi.

I've been cooking.

Yes, I see that.

What is it?

It's scallops, some asparagus and mango stuff.

I kind of ruined our last dinner, so I wanted to make it up to you.

Don't you think you're acting kind of weird?

-Are you okay? -No.

I need to tell you something.

Lærke...

For heaven's sake.

It's my sister. I have to answer.

Good...

Please open your eyes and look at me.

I think you're able to let go of it all now.

You love her and you want to spare her,

and that's why you're taking control now, right?

Yes.

I can see that you still need to speak to the lawyer.

Other than that, are you ready for tomorrow?

Yes, well...

I was actually thinking... Is it still possible to make some changes in my plan?

Yes, of course.

We'll just need to speak to Frank first.

Max!

Come on down!

Here, have a sip.

It's good.

You know Max, I had a special someone back home too.

And sadly, she died.

It wasn't pretty.

She begged and begged to be allowed to leave here,

but no one listened.

The doctors didn't listen.

I didn't listen.

Most of the time, she was in some other world.

So such an amazing woman.

And at the end of the day, she couldn't tell the difference

between me and the dog.

She deserved a better ending.

I'm not sure I understand...

Why I tell you this?

Yes.

When you've got a tumor, I can understand

why you would want to leave with a bit of dignity

as painlessly as possible.

The clock's ticking, Max.

I know, but I...

I really need to see Laerke again.

There must be a way.

It's not an option, Max.

You know the rules.

Let's meet again soon.

I'm sure we can work something out.

And I'm sure we can get you that goodbye you need.

I'll be ready tomorrow.

I promise I'll be covering.

I'll be good.

I can do it tomorrow.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Max.

Help me!

I don't want to!

Come on. Come on.

Move!

My name is Max Isaksen.

Today is January 10, 2019.

I hereby confirm that I, of my own free will

and with the assistance of this hotel and staff,

have decided to take my own life today.

When you watch this, I will be dead.

Lærke...

I wish we could always just be you and me.

The only thing I can give you

is for me to disappear while I'm still me.

I hope and believe that you will understand.

Okay.

Hey, Max.

I wanted to wish you a good journey.

All is ready and you'll get it just as you want it.

OK?

What's going on here?

Let me take your jacket.

Thank you.

I made dinner.

What is this?

Scallops, a bit of asparagus, and some mango stuff.

Lærke, there's something I need to tell you.

The scan showed that...

...the tumour has grown. It will keep growing.

From now on, it will be...

...very, very bad.

I can't do that.

So, now...

Now it ends.

Turn around.

Lærke?

What is it, Max?

Hey.

Leave. Leave.

Go on.

Did he take it?

Good.

Thank you.

YOU WILL GET OUT

It's Arthur.

It's no use, you see?

You can go, you know?

You can't escape.

Max!

Max!

Max, come back!

Go the other way!

Can I give him a hug?

Yes, he can manage a small hug.

Ouch.

No matter where you go, I will go with you.

Promise?

I am not going anywhere.

No, we won't send a postcard to a cat.

Thank you.

Would you like dessert?

What is it?

Aren't your feet cold?

No.

Max, what is it?

What are you doing here?

Max?

Max, look at me.

Hey.

Max.

I think we need to go to the hospital.

I just need to get home.

I just need to go home.

Okay.
