“There is no crime without law”
In a near-future Hungary where citizens are legally required to end their lives at age seventy, a documentary crew follows an elderly man as he approaches his final days. Blending dark humor with social satire, Linda Dombrovszky's mockumentary explores aging, dignity, and the human cost of a society obsessed with efficiency and control.
