One day, out of the blue, Iris (29) and her older brother Ivan are told by their 74-year-old father that he’s had enough of life and wants to die by his next birthday. Where Ivan stoically accepts this declaration, Iris fights it all the way, quitting her job and moving in with her father, determined to dissuade him by any means possible.

Director’s statement:
»Pink Moon unites two generations in a story about the fear of losing a parent or loved one. Can the younger generation, full of life, understand or support the desire for death of the older generation?«
