In a life that feels meticulously planned yet utterly empty, Veronika, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, makes a definitive choice to end it all. Surviving her suicide attempt, she awakens in a bleak psychiatric institution called Villete, where a chilling diagnosis gives her a new, grim timeline: her heart is damaged, and she has only days to live. Under the watch of the enigmatic Dr. Blake, portrayed by David Thewlis, Veronika is confronted with the raw humanity of her fellow patients, including the rebellious Mari, played by Erika Christensen, and the sensitive Edward, brought to life by Jonathan Tucker. Liberated by her supposed expiration date, Veronika begins to experience life with a reckless, newfound intensity, challenging the institution's rules and her own suppressed emotions. This poignant drama, directed by Emily Young, explores the fragile boundary between sanity and madness, asking what it truly means to live when you believe your time is running out. As Veronika forms unexpected connections, she is forced to confront the very reasons she wanted to die, in a story that vibrates with emotional depth and a haunting search for meaning.
