Plot

Giph (Tijn Docter) is a young security guard and writer. He has a girlfriend, Samarinde (Carice van Houten), who is a physician and model. They are on holiday in Spain with their friends. Giph's mother, Lotti ({{Interlanguage link|Catherine ten Bruggencate|nl}}), has recently died. Giph plans to end the relationship after the holiday. Samarinde turns out to be pregnant, and the question arises whether Samarinde will have an induced abortion. However, she has a miscarriage. Giph loves Samarinde again and they continue the relationship.

A large part of the film consists of flashbacks, about Lotti's multiple sclerosis and euthanasia by lethal injection, and Giph's relationship with Samarinde.
