A tastefully shot drama without overwrought emotions and yet very moving. The film, in a non-intrusive manner, prompted me to reflect on how I would cope with the harsh reality if I were to give consent to organ donation of my dying child in their prime youth, or whether I could envision living on with a foreign heart because mine has already served its purpose. These are questions to which there is probably no clear-cut answer, unless one really finds oneself in a similar impasse.
