When her lung cancer is diagnosed as terminal, Muis gathers her dearest friends, Ted, Carlos and Lian. Together the women come up with strategies to make the best of the time Muis has left: they garden and dance, share food, drinks and prescription marijuana. But the differences between their four personalities surface when they try to prepare for the coming irrevocable loss. With great humour and sincerity, the filmmaker draws an intimate portrait and captures the way we face death, in a unique and unforgettable way.
