Ivo works as an outpatient palliative care nurse. She travels to different households every day. To families, married couples and single people. In small apartments and large houses. In always different lives and deaths, in always different ways of dealing with the time that remains. At home, her pubescent daughter and her dog have long since become self-employed because of Ivo's working hours. Ivo travels from morning to night in her old Skoda, the hands-free system always in use. The car has become her personal living space, where she eats her meals, works, sings, curses and dreams.

One of her patients, Solveigh, was a close friend before she became ill. Ivo also has a close relationship with Solveigh's husband Franz. Day after day they work together to care for Solveigh. And they sleep together. Solveigh's strength dwindles and she soon has to rely on outside help for the simplest tasks. She wants to make the final decision alone, so Franz doesn't want to find out about it. She asks Ivo to help her die.
