The study has the purpose of understanding the behaviors manifested by the actors regarding patient’s option towards his death. The movie picture occurs in an hospital environment. Scenes that envolve a tetraplegic patient, the medical and nursing team that take care of him, and his girlfriend. The analysis was based on Martin Heidegger’s thoughts about human existence.
