The Last Decision

In Finland, euthanasia cannot be obtained under a doctor's supervision. While it can be done independently, Hilkka and Hertta are not prepared for any brutal action. Together, mother and daughter are planning a trip to Switzerland, a country where assisted suicide is completely legal. Although Hilkka has expressed her desire, embarking on the journey is much harder. Dark humor lightens the mood even though mother and daughter face a tough situation. There is also the pressing urgency, as for assisted suicide to be performed in Switzerland, Hilkka's fingers must be functional. As her body weakens and limbs slow, Hilkka and Hertta must make a difficult decision, the last great decision.
