In this TV series, Luigi discovers he is ill and while he is waiting to see the doctor, his thoughts turn to his death, and how he would like his funeral to be.

Luigi discovers that not only is his oncologist young, but he is his first patient. Luigi and his wife are nervous but ready, while the department head seems to be more interested in her phone call.

Some patients are afraid to go home, to do things for themselves, but once they are well, they must. Luigi waits to sign the informed consent form before his operation. He hears about Doctor Zamagna who will be performing the surgery.

Doctor Policari brings the consent form, along with some seemingly paradoxical advice. Luigi's wife tries to get more information from this doctor, without success.

Luigi's wife reads the consent form. Meanwhile, Luigi gets prepped by different nurses for the operation he will have the next day.

It's the night before Luigi's operation. It's hard to sleep for various reasons, but he is resting, when Doctor Zamagna pays him a visit.

The morning of the operation has arrived and the nurse goes through a checklist with Luigi to make sure he is ready before being taken to the operating room.

It's time to go to the operating room. A priest arrives to give him an encouraging word, and Elena walks with him as far as she can. Luigi is still worried about his surgeon having jet lag.

As he is being wheeled towards the operating room, Luigi reflects on how the hierarchy of the hospital can be discerned by how people vent their anger and on whom.

The operation seems to have gone well, but forty-eight hours have to go by before they can be 100% sure.

Luigi is trying to rest, but it's not easy with a roommate who talks, and the feelings of nausea he is experiencing. He thinks out loud about how different doctors say different things regarding a patient's health.

Elena gets to talk to Luigi after the operation. The topic is resilience, a very important characteristic of the healing process.

The hospital personnel have a special relationship with the elevator. There is a new female walking the corridors and nobody fails to notice her. Doctor Zamagna goes to see Luigi.
