When the middle-aged mortician heard that he was going to die from lung cancer. It’s time for him to deal with a lot of emotions about “dead” that he works for all his life.

Director Statement

This story was inspired by my father, who was a surgeon. Every day he has to work with death. Until one day, my father had to face death from terminal cancer. Dad was able to fight through until he was able to be cured completely. And the lessons from my father received that being able to live each day is the most wonderful thing. Even though there's only one day left ,Be happy to live your life. And shed tears when you must leave. This film is name "Living Will", the final document that the patient will sign in for not to request further chemical treatment. A document that is like the last door that will free us from the pain of the physical body. To be free in the form of a subtle body. Me as the director, I would like to convey this story to the eyes of someone who are living ,someone who fighting or someone who done about living. Let their know that you did something really great today. “You are alive,” that's it, That is best enough for this life.
