Truelove (2024)

Overview

Phil is an ex-senior police chief enjoying a comfortable if boring retirement, and Ken is a divorcee and ex-special forces vet who feels similarly at sea. Phil and Ken were teenage sweethearts and despite life having moved on, they have never quite managed to forget each other.Cut to a friend's funeral many years later where Phil and Ken, along with a gang of old friends, are reunited. At the wake, with nostalgia and booze flowing in equal measure, talk soon takes a meditative turn and the group discuss what an 'ideal' death might look like. The gang make a drunken pact: rather than let each other suffer a slow and dreadful decline, they will step in and engineer a dignified death. In short, they will help each other die when the time is right. Because that, they all agree, is a sign of Truelove.But what starts out as a fanciful idea soon morphs into shocking reality....
