Two homeless people, Zigis and Aņa, decides to help each other die by committing suicide together. But first, they want to throw one last party. They plan a bizarre shop robbery, during which they threaten the saleswoman with boiling water and steal 300 Euros and vodka. The party becomes so wild that instead of committing suicide together as planned, they wake up alive, hungover, and with the police hot on their trail. But Aņa and Zigis won’t give up- they will do what it takes to die properly.
