Wood for the Next Winter / Dřevo na příští zimu

Dáša interrupts her fatal tumour treatment to spend her last days in the countryside in peace. Her older brother David gets the impression that if Dáša must die, she needs to go on an ecstatic adventure. He is the master of experiences. At least the kind that he knows are worthwhile. Yet, his perfect plan of skydiving, auroras and zorbing balls is not received as expected. While David makes an enormous effort to realize that obvious bucket list type of fun, Dáša would rather simply sit down and enjoy his company. David discovers how vaguely he actually knows his own sister. Finally, it becomes clear who lives each day to the fullest and is the one to truly come to terms with death.
