Death Watch

  • Log in or register to post comments

In the near future, humanity faces a dangerous and disturbing dilemma: the possibility of broadcasting death live on television. The story follows Pierre, a medical professor who becomes embroiled in this unsettling proposal when a television network decides to document the dying moments of a terminally ill patient. However, the spectacle that promised to be a revolutionary event soon transforms into a morbid phenomenon that attracts the attention of millions.

As the audience becomes hooked on the drama of the impending death, Pierre begins to question the ethics behind the broadcast. At the same time, the pressure from television executives increases, urging them to seek more sensationalism and spectacle in a process that should be intimate and personal. Amidst this, tensions arise between the producers, the audience, and those involved, showcasing the struggle between professional duty and humanity.

The film raises a series of unsettling questions about the nature of morbid fascination in the media, touching on topics such as the exploitation of others' suffering and the value of life and death in a society obsessed with entertainment. As the plot unfolds, Pierre becomes an increasingly conflicted character, facing not only decisions that impact his career but also moral dilemmas that change how society perceives death.
