SYNOPSYS
The elderly couple Ernst and Leni regularly bets on the last piece of chocolate. They make a bet as to which of them will die first. Both want to die before the other, but each for their own reasons. In a black-humored and unsentimental way, but with a big heart, both show that they don’t want to be without each other.
