IVO

Ivo works as an outpatient palliative carer. Every day she’s on the road, visiting patients. Families, married couples and single people. In small flats and large houses. With different ways of living and dying. With different ways of dealing with the time that remains. At home, her teenage daughter and her dog have learned to become independent because of Ivo’s working hours. On the road in her old Skoda, from dawn till dusk, the hands-free system always in operation. It has become her personal living space, where she eats her meals, works, sings, swears and dreams.
One of her patients, Solveigh, was a close friend of hers. Ivo also has an intimate relationship with Solveigh’s husband Franz. They care for Solveigh together, every day. And they sleep together. Solveigh’s strength dwindles and soon she is dependent on others for the simplest tasks. She wants to make the final decision alone and doesn’t want Franz to find out. She asks Ivo to help her die.
