To avoid old age, Salomé has decided to die. But before, the 69–year–old wants to enjoy her life to the fullest, including a final fulfilling sexual encounter. Her ad is answered by several people of various ages and genders, who offer to fulfill her final desire. These encounters and the little moments in-between are documented by filmmaker Sandra. No visit resembles the next, each person comes with their own story and their unique appeal.

Director Olympe de G. invites the audience to an intimate game full of arbitrariness and surprise – with a sensual climax. And it poses one question throughout: why do we keep planning all our first times but never the last ones?
