What means the right for euthanasia in Belgium? What are the conditions under which it is allowed?
A consulting room in a public hospital in Belgium. A doctor receives patients: men and women, often accompanied by a relative. Most of them are seriously ill, and they know it. They have come to talk about the end of their life. As much as circumstances and the law allow, these patients want to choose the time of their death. The dialogues are frank, intense, and overwhelmingly authentic. Above all, they are imbued with great gentleness. Words from the End shows these encounters, with discretion and respect. The film also shows the carers, in their exchanges and their questioning. A lesson of life and humanism.
