Synopsis The director Diaz is killed in a car accident while his son sinks into a deep coma. Death itself has caused the accident. When she comes to fetch Diaz at the morgue, Death suggests a pact : if Diaz writes a film for her, she will spare the child’s life. Diaz has no choice but to accept. This marks the start of a long struggle, that of a father and his son, linked until death parts them, who try to stay together at all costs.
