SYNOPSIS:
What would you do if you found out that you are only 4 days of life because of a serious illness that you just realized and at the same time you are almost bankrupt, your wife is suing for divorce, your child is involved in a drug trafficking case and your mother died because your father was killed and of course your father is getting ready go to jail with your son? Of course it will be considered to be a very bad ending, but that thought never landed on Manuel Gotze's head even though he experienced all the things I asked the comrades above.
Gotze is a head of an accounting firm who for the last few years was betrayed or in other words cheated by his own partner, Peter Glasisch. Gotze never realized this until he was suddenly declared bankrupt by a financial agency, all Gotze's assets including houses and goods Other personalities were confiscated by the bank, his wife Manuel Elisa Braum also demanded a divorce a few hours after all of Gotze's belongings were confiscated while Gotze's only child named Manuel Hermann had not come home last night. The previous morning Gotze who felt blood clotted in his brain and felt dizzy checked himself into a doctor, without Gotze thinking he had suffered from a rare disease where white blood cells eat red blood cells in the brain for 15 years but Gotze never realized because Gotze thought what he was suffering from was just a headache because he was too stressed with work, the doctor also sentenced Gotze to be 4 days to life, the doctor then offered to have Gotze come to a pastor he knew to be prayed for but Gotze refused on the grounds that "deeds must be accounted for and sins must be atoned for" after all Gotze is a person who believes in God but does not believe in religion, he feels religion is just human political vehicle that complements God's name. after checking himself into the doctor "Gotze" returned to the office and found his office on the 78th floor being forcibly demolished, all the files in the room were confiscated, after protesting and wondering finally got to the fact that one of Gotze's partners, Glasisch, had falsifying the company's financial data where as if Gotze was cheating by taking advantage of 1 percent of each employee, Glasisch also faked Gotze's signature even though Gotze repeatedly stated that the signature found by the police was fake, Gotze himself was not arrested even though Gotze immediately received the status as a city prisoners, wherever his movements were always monitored by the police and the financial investigation agency. When he arrived at the house, Elisha's, his wife, was waiting in front of the house with her car and suddenly asked for a divorce because her husband was a very cunning person who use employees for profit 1 percent of each of his employees, plus Elisa's older brother, Paul-Goot, who is also a business partner and Gotze's employee is also considered to have been cheated by Gotze, Elisha left unilaterally without Gotze having time to tell the disease she had suffered for 15 years, then Gotze got a call about his son, Manuel Hermann, by police, Hermann was being arrested and questioned by the police because he was caught offering opium and marijuana, especially when Hermann offered it to underage, according to police, some of the children who were offered by Hermann were also forced to perform indecent scenes when orders 8 year old girls to suck boy's penis who are 2 years older than them, Hermann said that with opium and marijuana they will be more enjoyable, half an hour after the children fled Hermann was arrested with evidence of opium and marijuana in his hand.
Just halfway when Gotze was about to meet his son at the police station suddenly his cellphone rang, from the phone of one of Gotze parent's neighbors, he reported that Manuel Allan, his father, had strangled Maria Allan, Gotze mother, because of trivial things, because she sprinkled pepper in an omelette which she fried even though Allan was very allergic to pepper. Gotze also promised to go to his parent's house after he met his son at the police station, at the police station Gotze met his son who was under the influence of drugs but the chaos of the child really hit Gotze's heart because Gotze just realized for the sake of business he and his wife dump Hermann and make Hermann tremble looking for food on the streets, sometimes even Gotze and Elisa don't realize that they have a child who is now turn 21 years old, the chat continues until finally Gotze is forced to go home after Hermann goes berserk because they don't accept the existence of his father at that place.
When he is in his parent's house Gotze found his house was full of neighbors, Gotze was grateful because he didn't find a police patrol car at his parent's house, the neighbors deliberately agreed not to report this, because they felt sorry for Allan who was very old (around 84 years old) and they were concerned about Allan's fate if later Allan had to spend the rest of his life in prison especially Allan was a bit senile, until finally Allan declared that he deserved imprisonment and was ready for all the consequences. he would accept even though he had to end his life in prison, Allan never realized that it made Gotze disappointed and Allan also didn't know that he would be longer than Gotze where Gotze's age was only a few days. Allan was arrested by police on charges of third degree murder. Gotze also did not have time to tell Allan and Hermann the illness he suffered, now only Gotze himself knows what his body is suffering from, then in the remaining 4 days of his life Gotze intends to make the remaining 4 days of his life the most perfect day he has ever had, starting from giving encouragement and moral support to the father and his children on the first and second days and regaining the trust of his wife and employees on the third and fourth days. In between that time Gotze took a few bottles of Sangria in the park, imagining himself when When he was young, he spent time watching movies in theaters with his wife Elisa and when Gotze and his family saw the zoo with his family even late at night and the zoo would close. Gotze also imagines the moments when his employees make Gotze feel he is someone else who is better and not cowardly and whiny, yes Gotze does have that bad character, with their existence Gotze feels his life is very perfect in the midst of his fatigue with his activities. Everyday, Gotze did not move and spent the night in the garden reminiscing about these times, then Gotze decided to go back to persuading his wife who previously did not want to listen to Gotze's persuasion at all and although it did not work at least Gotze succeeded in eliminating Elisa's hatred for Gotze even though only slightly.
After that Gotze returned to the park, drank a few bottles of sangria and returned to reminiscing about these moments there, after being awakened by a pair of underage young people who were holding hands Gotze immediately remembered his son who was languishing in prison, he rushed to visiting his child, not just visiting but Gotze has another mission which he hopes will be successful, at first Gotze's plan was threatened with failure because the visit for his son turned out to be Monday and Saturday where it was impossible for Gotze to find Saturday again while Monday had passed, luckily Gotze declared his illness along with a certificate from the doctor to the officers so the officers sincerely wanted to bring Gotze with Hermann, and as expected Gotze "Herman" looked very messy in his wrinkled clothes, he stared blankly at the front and just smiled, occasionally even though there's no one in front of him, because of this Gotze also asked the officers to allow him and his child to walk in the park and spend the whole night there, the police immediately agreed, knowing that these were Gotze's last days but of course Gotze and Hermann were watched by the police, especially Hermann's status as a city prisoner. Under police supervision, in the park Gotze downed sangria with Hermann, which was the first day Gotze allowed his son to drink alcohol, whereas previously Gotze would immediately beat Hermann if Hermann was caught drinking. When asked what the reason was, one of the policemen who knew the real reason wanted to tell Gotze's age was only a few days away Gotze just laughed and said that the policeman who was watching was delirious, then the officer unwittingly shed tears.
Gotze also asked Hermann what were his shortcomings as a father and Hermann did not hesitate to say it, Gotze realized that all this time he and his wife had been such old-fashioned parents that they didn't care about the dreams and ideals of their son, Gotze and Elisa only cared about their children must be successful people without realizing that success is not only about money and succession, causes Hermann run to the world of drugs to relieve stress. Feel guilty about Hermann's honesty, Gotze also allows Hermann to do 3 things that Gotze and Elisa had forbidden, and the three requests were that Hermann was allowed is to making love to his girl he loved, the second is he was allowed to drink alcohol and Hermann made it with his father that time, and the third really made Gotze shed tears. Hermann want to eat together with his father and mother with simple conditions, so far Hermann has not had the chance to feel the pleasure of eating as a family because his parents are busy, Gotze immediately invited Hermann to have dinner with Elisa even though Elisa had refused, luckily Gotze lied by saying that if he did not make the request Hermann going berserk and messing up the house, Elisa then agreed, although with a little reluctance, when the policeman who was watching him was about to tell the real reason Gotze forbade the policeman, Gotze told the policeman that he didn't want decrease his son's happiness because of a very bitter fact. Gotze also spent the night with his son, chatting and drinking sangria until he was satisfied in the park, after that Gotze parted with Hermann who was brought back by the police. Gotze never felt disappointed even though Hermann walked away without looked back.
On the third day Gotze went to the place where his father was detained, he intended to spend time with his father, the police allowed on the condition that Gotze did not bring up the slightest bit of Maria death, he took care Allan completely, they then reminisce and chat about their past, about when Allan supported Maria when she was about to give birth to Gotze, about the meaning behind the name Gotze that Allan and Maria gave and to what extent Gotze decided unilaterally not to live with his parent anymore. Gotze became aware that all this time he was only making his father and mother sad, Gotze always thought of his interests only without the slightest thought about the feelings and interests of his parents, Gotze was crying, when asked why he was crying Gotze only answered with the classic reason, namely smoke gets into his eyes, after telling a long story Gotze took care of his father until he arrived the father fell asleep.
Then Gotze spent time again in the park and drinking sangria until morning, and then on the 4th day or the last day of his life, Gotze intends to go to his employee's house one by one which he hasn't had time, Gotze walk, he chose to walk because the addresses of many of his employees were close to each other even though some of them were little bit far away. Gotze walked with pain in his head, he knocked on the door and met his employees one by one including meeting Glasisch and Paul Goot, although most of them did not forgive and kick Gotze out of the door, except for Glasisch who felt guilty and Paul-Goot who cried and hugged Gotze knowing Gotze was innocent.
Paul-Goot had time to invite Gotze to dinner but Gotze refused, Gotze said he had no more time, when Paul-Goot asked why Gotze did not have time Gotze only answered with a big smile that he was afraid that he would not have time to sleep. Without knowing the true Paul-Goot allowed Gotze to go home. "Gotze" went back to the park, drank some sangria there and died peacefully in the park, Just a Perfect Day, Drink Sangria in the Park. really I was inspired by Lou Reed masterpiece.
