"The Farewell Party" tackles an extremely sensitive issue in a vibrant, humorous way. Well into their 70's, Yehezkel (Ze'ev Revach) and his wife Levana (Levana Finkelstein) are living contented lives inside a Jerusalem retirement home. But they are shocked when their dear friend Max (Shmuel Wolf) falls prey to an irreversible illness. Looking to escape a slow, painful death, Max asks Yehezkel for help to end his suffering. A longtime amateur inventor, Yehezkel rises to the challenge by constructing a machine that will allow Max to self-administer a fatal dose of tranquilizers. Levana, however, believes that such a device is immoral, and expresses her passionate disapproval. But when Levana herself begins to face a serious health issue, Yehezkel finds that his feelings about his new contraption become increasingly complicated.
