With this film, I wanted to take a non-sentimental look at the last days of an "ordinary" life, that of Noëlla, with whom my grandfather had remarried. A widow for several years and stricken with an incurable cancer, she watches the last days of her life pass with a serenity and a calmness that forces admiration. An attitude that she would maintain until the last moments of her life. It is therefore a film about death itself, the kind that is almost never portrayed in films because it is not spectacular. It is the death of ordinary people, the death of everyday life, striking as much by its profound mystery as by its troubling banality. But it is also a film about an announced and planned death, which is administered by the State through medical aid in dying. This procedure, new in Canada, is still controversial. However, it is becoming a new reality that we will have to deal with and that confronts us all with ethical and philosophical questions. Around this issue, perhaps there is an opportunity to reflect on the place of death in our lives and on the troubled relationship we have with it in our society.
