Veronika beschließt zu sterben (2009)
Veronikas Leben erscheint perfekt. Sie ist jung, schön, hat einen gutbezahlten Job und lebt in einem schicken Appartement in New York City. Doch ihr Leben ist so kühl, elegant und leer wie ihre teure Wohnung. So beschließt sie ihrem leidenschaftslosen Dasein ein Ende zu bereiten.Eine Überdosis Schlaftabletten befördert sie jedoch nicht wie erhofft in den Tod, sondern in eine psychiatrische Anstalt. Als Veronika dort erwacht, eröffnen ihr die Ärzte, dass sie einen Herzschaden erlitten hat und nur noch wenige Tage leben wird. Nun muss Veronika sich damit abfinden, den Zeitpunkt ihres Todes nicht mehr selbst wählen zu können.Bald schon merkt sie, dass die Anstalt ein Kuckucksnest voll überschäumender, fantasievoller Figuren ist und dass unter dem verschlossen-mürrischen Personal die eigentlichen Verrückten sind.Veronika beginnt für ihr Leben und ihre Zukunft zu kämpfen und erlebt ganz plötzlich eine unerwartete Liebe. Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt.
