• Comedy

A despondent businessman, adrift in a London rendered with a uniquely deadpan sensibility, attempts to outsource his own demise, initiating a darkly humorous and unexpectedly tender connection with a florist as he awaits the contract killer's arrival. This isn't a story about avoiding death, but about the sudden, hesitant bloom of life amidst a pre-planned exit – a circumstance that forces a confrontation with loneliness and the possibility of connection. The film unfolds with a deliberately glacial pace and understated performances, creating an unsettling yet comforting atmosphere where even the most morbid proposition feels strangely pragmatic. It's a meticulously observed, quietly devastating romantic comedy that subtly undermines genre expectations, finding unexpected grace in the absurd pursuit of self-destruction and the accidental discovery of hope.
