Overview

Maria Ana’s body began to disappear. Having dedicated all her life to restoring ancient paintings, Maria Ana is now faced with the impossibility of restoring her own body. Her cancer weighs heavily on her husband and children. On New Year's Eve, Maria Ana and Death meet for the first time. And from that day on, they establish an unusual friendship. There seems to be no one else that could appease Maria Ana’s concern: How to die well?
