79-year-old Lisette Nigot wants to die. She has a healthy mind and intellect but wishes to die 'before things get too bad,' as she puts it. Her target age, which she set for herself long ago, is exactly 80. The documentary follows Lisette in her consultations about euthanasia with her lawyer, Dr. Philip Nitschke, who believes that everyone has the right to a peaceful death on their own terms.
