Veronika Decides to Die
Veronika has everything she could wish for - young and pretty, with plenty of attractive boyfriends, a steady job, a loving family. Yet Veronika is not happy and one winter's morning she takes an overdose of sleeping pills, only to wake up some time later in the local hospital. There she is told that her heart is now irreparably damaged and she has only a few days to live... Through these intense days Veronika comes to realize that every second of existence is a choice we all make between living and dying. This is a moving and uplifting song to life, one that reminds us that every moment in our lives is special and precious. |

Veronika Decides to Die
This is the story of Veronika's (re-)discovery of life, of living life fully, and of her ultimate rejection of death. In the final analysis, Dr Igor's cure for Veronika's malaise is awareness of death. Living as if we are immortal can spell death-in-life. Walking hand-in-hand with death, says Coelho, we become more alive to the business of living and living well. |
