In a lifeless small French town, a well-reputed old shop is exceptionally thriving. It turns out that this family-run store has been famous for generations for selling suicide products. In such a gloomy and terrifying town, suicide has become a commonplace occurrence among the local residents, which is why the shop is so popular. The shop owner, Mishima, is utterly devoid of vitality, and his wife wears a sorrowful expression every day. They long ago lost their passion for life, remaining depressed and anxious all day long. The long-term sale of suicide supplies has pushed them to the brink of collapse. Fortunately, their two children still cherish life, especially their younger son, Alan, who always wears a smile on his face. However, Alan’s love for life threatens the operation of the old shop. His father goes to great lengths to make Alan despondent, even driving him to a desperate situation...
