What it’s about. Was tun, wenn man erfährt, dass man nur noch wenige Wochen zu leben hat?

Doch nach und nach fängt er an, das Todesurteil als Freibrief aufzufassen. Er beginnt, sein Leben jenseits von Vernunft und Konventionen zu genießen. Das bedeutet unter anderem, dass er die ihm verbleibende Zeit nutzt, all jene Menschen ins Jenseits zu befördern, die ihm bisher das Leben zur Hölle gemacht haben.
