Martin, seventy-six, is happy. His young wife is a successful painter, he writes, takes care of his six-year-old son David and looks after the kitchen and garden. When he learns that he only has a few months to live, his life is thrown off track. He wants to provide for the future of his loved ones. But what can, what should he leave them? What will they receive as a gift and what will become a burden? He has to learn to let go – for their sake and for his. And he must face the final surprises and challenges if he is to succeed in dying reconciled.
