DIRECTOR'S NOTES
I met Dr. Pablo Iglesias, a palliative care doctor, when he accompanied my mother-in-law in her last days of life. Pablo helped my wife and her family cope with farewell, loss, and grief; He was perceived by everyone as an "angel". When I met him, I was struck by his charisma and his gift for communication, but, above all, his human quality in dealing with his patients, his closeness and his ability to accompany them in the decisions they face, always difficult. He is a person who speaks of death with an amazing naturalness. Through the personal and intimate stories of a group of his patients and their families, we will learn about the commendable work of Pablo and his colleagues.
