An agent and a sick man talk of a magic potion to end it all, and together they arrange a date, time and place for this man's death... No, this isn't a film noir, nor a sci-fi, nor a psychological thriller or horror, but it is all of these things. Introducing the Swiss company EXIT who, having found a loophole in Swiss Law, assign 'agents' to help people die. This ex t raordinary documentary asks us all to consider at what point – if at all – we would take that potion, and if there will ever be a perfect time to die.
