Ireland’s Claire Dix looks at assisted dying through the lens of this darkly comic fiction feature written by Joyride’s Ailbhe Keogan. It is former documentary maker Dix’s debut fiction feature and she sets the bar high, straddling some abrupt tonal shifts as a carer and former drug addict played by Barry Ward struggles to accept the fact that his terminally-ill mentor wants to exit life at a time of his own choosing.
