When he lived through a car accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down, we understood why he wanted to be left alone to die...
Ken moved from a world of life and creation, to an empty world where he can't move even a single finger...
Lying under the white sheets of the hospital bed, he is subjected to stress under the shock of his another reality... The artist has gone... The creator of an art expressed in all its different dimensions, round in relief, imagery, symbolism, all vanished in seconds...
But his human spirit remains alive under the severity, the compulsion, the threats of his new reality...
Ken was a cunning sculptor, skillful, ingenious in the use of his mind and hands... He is now charming, capable to seduce the whole nursing staff by pillow talk...
The movie deals with many hypothesis about the right to die...
Does a patient have the right to choose to die? Does he have the right to refuse life-sustaining medical treatment, even if that means certain immediate or accelerated death?"
Yes, I think he has the right to die. He desperately wanted to die because he was depressed, he couldn't do all the things he used to, like create a sculptor. Why do he have to keep on living, when he feels that his life was not valuable anymore?
