Description |
Alex Macklin remembers, as a child, seeing a dead man on the subway. Now an artist of some renown, Alex has lived a vigorous and influential life. But at 70 he is again close to death.
Three people will decide his fate. His ex-wife Toinette and his adult son are keen to help him depart this world- he would not have wanted to end his life in a drip-fed limbo. His young wife Lia, however, is determined that he be allowed to survive his full time, no matter his level of apparent consciousness. She knows that Alex is tenacious, just like the exotic desert plants that he loved. |
