Martha is desperate. Her seriously ill father Kurt booked himself into a euthanasia clinic in Switzerland and she is supposed to accompany him. Since she has not been able to get behind the wheel since a traumatizing accident, Martha asks her best friend Betty to drive them in Kurt’s old rickety Golf. It’s to be a final journey, but nothing ever ends as one has imagined it, and certainly not when it comes to life.
With defensive humor of the gallows kind and a truthfulness that hurts, Daughters tells the story of two women in the middle of their lives, of farewells that spare nobody and of fathers who disappear too soon, all via a grotesque journey southwards, through Switzerland, Italy and to Greece, always deeper into the depths of one’s own history
