To Die (or Not) (DVD)
TO DIE (OR NOT) is Spanish director Ventura Pons` dynamic film in which seven individual stories each end in the death of the main character, that is until fate intervenes and re-writes history. A desperate director with a creative block, a junkie that just cant quit the habit, a little girl who chokes on a chicken bone, a hospital patient who cant reach the emergency call button, a woman who swallows too many pills, a biker run down by the police and a businessman who is laid low by a hired assassin. In part one, TO DIE, each character meets their death head on while the people around them struggle to take meaning in the events. Then in part two OR NOT, the clock is turned back and we see how one slight change of events effects all that could have occurred."
