Veronika Decides to Die

• Drama
• Romance

Within the stark, isolating confines of a mental asylum in New York City, Veronika’s attempted suicide unexpectedly grants her a strange new status: a subject of intense observation as a woman granted a limited time to truly *live*. This isn't a story of recovery, but a darkly whimsical exploration of what constitutes a meaningful existence when societal expectations are stripped away and mortality is a constant companion. The film charts Veronika’s unconventional path, not towards healing, but towards a defiant embrace of experience – art, love, and rebellion – all while confronting the ethically ambiguous methods of her psychiatrist and the stifling conformity of the institution. It’s a thought-provoking drama that doesn't shy away from the unsettling beauty of existential questioning, offering a contemplative space for viewers to grapple with the fragility of life and the search for authentic selfhood.
