May Your Will Be Done

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Ricardo, known for his hedonistic lifestyle, sees his world collapse when he loses his partner and suffers two debilitating strokes, leaving him partially paralyzed and profoundly depressed. Convinced that euthanasia is his rightful choice, he sets out to fulfill one last wish: reuniting with his estranged sons after more than twenty years.

Adrián, the film’s director and Ricardo's youngest son, embarks on an emotional journey toward forgiveness, acceptance, and potential reconciliation.

This poignant work explores the complexities of parent-child relationships, with themes of redemption, reconciliation, and the human right to make end-of-life decisions. It also serves as a meditation on euthanasia as a form of self-determination, situating itself within European discourses on dignified death.

Adrián Silvestre’s choice to document his father’s decline and final wish invites critical reflection on the ethics of familial intimacy and the role of the filmmaker in observational filmmaking.
