Chemo

A 30-year-old Benek is going through a crisis with its main symptom being persistent suicidal thoughts. Benek is convinced that he’s not able to love, build long-lasting relations with people or “live for real”. After yet another failed suicide attempt, by coincidence he meets a beautiful, attractive and eloquent Lena. From the very first moment he’s dazzled by her and his admiration for her grows once he learns that Lena approves of his suicidal inclinations and even shares them. She suggests a few weeks of “real life” followed by bidding farewell to the world together.

They set off on a romantic journey during which Benek gets to know that there is someone else in Lena’s life… the Tumor.
