Synopsis

  • An old lady who lives alone in the countryside is getting ready to go to bed while she is listening to some music. She is waiting for death to come and take her, as she wants to be reunited with his deceased husband. While she is sleeping hugging a photo of her husband, the reaper finally comes. The idea of meeting her husband again seems to make her really happy. But, when they are on their way to heaven, the old lady is suddenly transported to a hospital. There, a narcissistic doctor fancies with some nurses. Then, a battle between the medical team and the reaper begins, to take the life of the old lady.

    Every time the reaper tries to catch the old lady's soul, the doctor tries something new to retain it. The doctor and the reaper end up face to face, pulling directly from each side of the woman's body. A furious race then begins, with the medical team and the reaper chasing each others all around the hospital. The old lady ends in a wheelchair going down some crazy stairs with her chasers behind her. They all crash and fall. The reaper gives up, leading to the woman's disappointment.

    The old lady wakes up at the hospital, and right away she punches the doctor in the face. Next, she angrily takes the defibrillator from the operating theater to the hallway, she fills a pile of water and jumps in, causing her death. The doctor and nurses overlook the scene, looking very confused. Finally, we see the reaper coming home from the exhausting day in his boat. When he is about to open the doors, he receives a message from the incoming old lady's soul. He angrily throws the device away to the distance.
