action
An old woman looks at the picture of her deceased husband and goes to sleep with the picture in her arms. She dies and her ghost is already being led out of the room by death when the woman is suddenly brought back to life by a doctor. Death looks puzzled and goes on to attack: Doctor and death alternate trying to win over the woman who actually wants to die. At the end of the bizarre fight, death gives up and the doctor and nurses are exhausted. The old woman, however, leaves both parties alone in frustration, pushes a defibrillator into the room next to the treatment room , puts water in a tub and then kills herself with an electric shock .
The credits show Death, who has just come home and receives the message of the "arrival" of the old woman on his pager. Angrily, he throws the device away.
