The story explores the question If you are able to live in the presence of your own mortality and transience, what benefits for your life you will get out of it ?! For research he worked a few weeks in a local hospice. He will also play the main part in the film.

He is also working on two documentaries for the first time. In 2013 he did the "Raindance Berlin Documentary Foundation Course" (Raindance Film Festival) to expand his abilities as a filmmaker.
