Veronica is full of life, as befits a ten-year-old girl. However, when she accompanies her grandmother to the oncology institute together with her mother and older sister, she slowly begins to understand that life can sometimes be bitter.

A man, who caused a tragedy which hurt him and his family's lives, wants only one thing: That the people he loves and cares most about give him one last chance.

Ivan is a retired music teacher in his late 70s, and has grown weary of life. His estranged son never matched up to his expectations anyway, he is still eaten up with jealousy of his brother, who always enjoys life to the full, and - above all - he cannot keep up with the changes around him. He buys himself a plot in a graveyard with an beautiful view of the Alps and checks into a retirement home so he can wait for his death in peace. However, the exact opposite happens: for the first time in his life Ivan starts to actually live.
