Blackbird - Film of Family Gathering for Medical Aid in Dying

Ann all-star cast has remade the 2014 Danish film "Silent Heart.” The new film is "Blackbird."

Susan Sarandon’s Lily has ALS, which has already cost her the use of one hand and made walking a chore. Doctor husband Paul can hardly deny the inevitability with which her condition will degenerate until she’s incapable of moving, or even swallowing, on her own. (HT: Variety)

That is not a juncture that Lily means to reach. Lily has set a date for her death — this Sunday — and will take a lethal dosage to die in her sleep after a final 48 hours spent with the family.
