Synopsis:
Maya is 16 and longs to die. Or more like the idea of it. Once to put everyone in turmoil, once to get everyone's attention and if the price is life. But she hasn't gotten further than flowery selfie farewell messages on a suicide forum. That changes when Maya travels to Prague with her parents for a few days. While Maya's teenage parents are all about fun and celebration, Maya's suicide air castle suddenly becomes something real, a real threat. In a bar she meets the dubious medical student Sev (22). He offers her a cocktail of pills for only 5000 crowns. Does Maya really want to kill herself? What difference does her existence make to the world? Maya gets into a downward spiral that makes her really question her life.
