Hank was in a dilemma between his wife’s life and euthanasia.

It’s been ten years since the last time Hank had a conversation with her wife. His wife didn’t go anywhere. She was just there in their bedroom lying almost lifeless. After giving birth of their first baby, Hank’s wife didn’t wake up. She was comatose.

Hank is not really superstitious. But at this point of his life, he asks for signs whether to sign the authorization paper or not. This is the biggest decision he will ever make so far. Worst of all, he cannot talk to his best friend, who happens to be his comatose better half.

Bills are piling up. His son’s tuition fees are skyrocketing. He just lost his job. Everyone else seems to be bankrupt. It seems like the last resort is to beg for alms in the streets. But that would be the last thing he will do. Now he considers signing the authorization paper for euthanasia. Everyone else has agreed. It is all in his hands this time. But he made a vow to love her in sickness and in health. Hank loves his wife- there is no question about that. Is love powerful and optimistic enough to solve the dilemma between life and death?

Hank has been suffering a lot. Needless to say, his wife has been suffering a lot, too. Now, who should sacrifice?
