We see corpses almost only in horror movies and on the news. Does it save us even more from death? We get to be with when a family says goodbye to their grandmother and when a body is made ready to lie in an open coffin
We meet the man who saw his wife go away, he meets who was close to drowning and sits with the doctor who guided thousands of Swedes to the other side.
We meet the father who leaves the son's room untouched after his death, and visit the family with teenagers where everyone knows that the mother's time is numbered.
We meet those who believe and those who do not believe. And then we look for two people who have been to death and turned around. Both Manne af Klintberg and Arne Hegerfors have bright memories of their near-death experiences.
