The story of an elderly couple who prepares his own death. They choose the place where they are buried, their coffins, their tombstones, the music that will touch your mass, the clothes they will wear, the flowers of her funeral wreaths, etc... They make the division of their property among the children and even rehearse friends will be like the funeral. Everything is done naturally and all the details are discussed. But once everything prepared, they are faced with the big problem of all living: what to do until the time you die?
