Description At the assisted suicide clinic, an unusual doctor claiming 'tears are as healthy as sweat' treats unrequited love, sibling rivalry, loneliness, boredom and other diseases of the soul.

In the process, and through a series of fortunate encounters, the hopeless and disappointed discover new ways to live.
