Over my Dead Body is a series about five young people who have only a short time to live. They are terminally ill, but don’t want to hang around till they die. Instead, they try to make most of it and live life to its fullest. What do you do when you know you are going to die soon? We witness the battles against their illnesses, but see also the joy, love and happiness they share with their friends and family.
The presenter visits the participants regularly and discusses life, death and the consequences of their illness openly. As each of the patients wants to achieve a specific goal before they die, such as recording a song for relatives or giving a beach party for all their friends, we follow them in preparation and during this event. Relatives, friends and family are deeply involved in the series, as these loved ones play a major role in the last phase of the participants’ lives. |
