FRIEND
The Leone brothers' profession is rather unconventional.
Aurelio, Vittoria and Elena run IFAL corporated, a company for assisted suicides. Contrary to popular belief, the three brothers aim to fulfill every clients’ wish.
The suicide victim will personally choose his own death, which may be insane, desperate, ironic, perverse, depending on his personal taste. IFAL allows the client to decide the way to die and even the scenario.
Today's client is Tiziano Callegaro, a common professor of ancient Greek. His last wish? A couples’ dinner, more precisely a symposium.
Everything seems to go according to the agreed plans, but Tiziano has one last confession to make: a secret that will completely turn the situation around.
