Whatdisappears inside a person who is close to dying: Thoughts about thefuture, the plans, the hopes, BUT also the worries, duties, masks, etc.
Paradoxically,close to the death, many feel suddenly that there is nothing to loose,and start to enjoy the present moment, as never before.

And they become alive as never before.

With mime, magic, skills, surprises, poetry, a touch of wisdom and lots of laughter.
Thetwo comedians Paolo Nani (Italy-Denmark) and Kristján Ingimarsson have made a touchingperformance about a special taboo, something that everybody have toface and everybody wants to ignore: TO DIE

But the point is that it is VERY FUNNY.

TWOCLOWNS, almost at the top of their career, they have been togethersince they were kids. Now one of them gets the message that he isdying...

Wait a minute. How does a clown die?
Are there any instructions for dying?
How to die with good manners, not making a mess?

Wesee the two clowns and their famous numbers. We follow them on and backstage and see how suddenly Death, affect their life, daily routines,practices, thoughts and of course their famous SHOW.

We see them starting to think to Death as Clowns and revealing a fantastic mistery :

That THERE IS A LIFE BEFORE DEATH.

Thatlife is made of thousand and thousand of small "now"; And that until wehave even only one second of life, we have to be grateful as for themost precious of the gifts.
