Now or Never

Overview

Henry is usually hungover, even more often in a bad mood and rather an imposition as a death assistant. His caring attitude towards his clients is hidden under a very rough exterior. Rebecca, on the other hand, is good-looking, provocative, young and has a brain tumor. She is Henry's latest client and declares it his task to accompany her to a really wild party on her last night. When Henry wants to induce her death the next day, Rebecca has changed her mind. Death should wait, instead she wants to go to a miracle healer in some mountain village and Henry should take her there. There's no point in refusing, Rebecca has nothing to lose and she asserts herself ruthlessly. Pursued by Henry's colleague Benno and Rebecca's husband Daniel - whose existence she has stupidly not told Henry about - they embark on a crazy trip full of absurd encounters that take more out of Henry than he could have imagined.
