Arthur is terminally-ill and travels to Amsterdam with the aim of ending his life. But his carefully planned, lavish last trip is constantly being disrupted: on the plane, a child knocks over his glass of bubbly, and on the eve of his scheduled death, he hears loud noises from the hotel room next door.
It’s there that he finds Claire, a young Dutch woman bent on committing suicide. After Arthur manages to stop her, she takes him out into the nightlife of Amsterdam, where they each try to change the other’s mind in the last few hours allotted to them.
