For a Moment More
Fri, 27 Oct 2017
For a Moment More is a warm documentary film about the quiet but invaluable work that end-of-line caring houses do for the benefit of the dying and their relatives. The stories of three nurses will open a world that is coloured by death but where the leading role is acted by hope of happiness in last days of lives. Death and nurses open same doors in nursing home but death will keep the last moment with itself. Until that moment the nursing home is full of life.

The Swedish doctor of literature Vilhelm Canitz arrives in Lugano in Switzerland, close to Italy, for a few weeks stay at a medical clinic. Canitz considers himself to be quite healthy and the stay as an extended vacation.

The patients deal with the fact that they will not leave the clinic alive in different ways; with self-destruction, denial or imprudence.
