Plot – Nelson, Rachel, David Labraccio, Joe and Steckle are bright med students and friends, obsessively fascinated by the mystery of death. They want to know what lies beyond the visible world, so they decide to experiment on themselves the passage between life and death. Nelson, the most enthusiastic one, is the first to try and gives his friends instructions to conduct the dangerous experiment on him. The colleagues make his heartbeat stop for a short time. When his EEG shows a flat line, they declare Nelson officially dead, as long as they don't bring him back to life with the appropriate interventions. During those few minutes, he goes through some obfuscate images that make him clearly live again a painful episode of his childhood.
