EPILOGUE
>>> Special Mention of the Jury for feature-length documentary @ Visions du Réel in Nyon 2011 - International Competition
"With a sobering lack of sentimentality, the director aligns himself with a woman who wants to die consciously in order to maintain dignity. The film is a countdown of unique, precious moments in a family and a mother's last transmission to her children. An outstanding and deeply moving experience."
Jury members: Jennifer Fox, Clément Duboin, Michael Madsen
