In the rugged landscapes of Sardinia, a long-standing tradition of mercy and compassion unfolds through the stories of the accabadoras, women who were called upon to provide a gentle end to those suffering from terminal illness. These figures, often shrouded in mystery and operating in the shadows, were deeply respected by their communities for their role in alleviating the pain of the dying when no other relief was available. Through the eyes of those who remember these events, the film explores the complex intersection of life, death, and the profound human need for dignity in one's final moments.
