Dog Ends

Directed by Carol Wiseman

With Leonard Rossiter, Pat Heywood, David Threlfall, Lesley Manville and Bryan Pringle

A middle-aged man is feeling the strain of looking after his elderly grandfather, who is demanding and needs a lot of medical treatment. Then a neighbour suggests a painless way to be rid of him. This black comedy is set in the future, where euthanasia is lawful and increasingly common, but it should still, ideally, be voluntary.
