“This incredibly moving documentary is all the more affecting because of the unsentimental way it’s told.” (The Guardian)

The end of life is rarely associated with singing and laughter, but at Scotland’s Strathcarron Hospice, everything is different from what you’d expect. The patients are quirky, wry travelers on a journey with a certain end but an uncertain amount of time to enjoy before they get there. As each patient deals with enormous change and daily dramas, they are encouraged by each other, their families, a remarkably patient and supportive staff, and the simple magic of surprisingly good singing. In this loving community, the process of dying is safe, individual, and as gentle as possible—and filled, believe it or not, with joie de vivre.
