Alexander wakes up on his fortieth birthday with one certainty — today he must die. According to a family legend, every man in his lineage passes away exactly at age forty. Instead of preparing for the inevitable, he decides to spend his final day in the most absurd way possible: having breakfast at a restaurant in his pajamas, confessing his love to his former teacher, and trying to sell his apartment for three chocolate bars. This 2026 comedy turns existential dread into farce, exploring how a person behaves when they believe they have nothing left to lose. The surreal situations the protagonist finds himself in prompt reflection on the value of every moment, even the most ridiculous ones. The film walks the line between dark humor and a touching story about accepting one's fate.
