An anticipated farewell. Fears already lived through. The great obsession of humanity who cannot bring it under control even with rites and age-old myths. A life towards death, told with heart warming cheerfulness. It is Friday, 22 May 2032. One day after his ninety-fourth birthday, a man sits in a lush blooming garden – it is the paradise garden of his childhood – with a recorder beside him, and tapes his story with Mr. Adamson. He tells his story to us, but most of all to Annie, his grand daughter. And he is waiting – for the very same Mr. Adamson whom he hasn't seen since he was eight years old. It was a strange encounter. A glimpse into areas which are usually concealed from the living. A grandiose book whose vitality and love of life manages to banish what is the scandal of every life: death.
