About
The nihilistic Helga is ready to end her life. However, finding the "perfect" way to commit suicide turns out to be no easy task. Therefore, Helga persuades Ingrid to hook her up with the underground suicide pills which promise to be the loveliest way to die - the sleeping beauty kind of way. Ingrid agrees to provide her with the pills on one condition: For each pill, Helga must do Ingrid a favor. This throws Helga into a series of tasks, out of her comfort zone and into new friendships.
