Written and directed by Matthias Glasner, Dying follows the lives of four estranged family members: elderly parents Lissy (Corinna Harfouch) and Gerd (Hans-Uwe Bauer), and their adult children Tom (Lars Eidinger) and Ellen (Lilith Stangenberg). As Lissy and Gerd edge closer to the end of their lives, Tom and Ellen are too caught up in their own lives to get involved with their parents' troubles.
Dying is in UK/ROI cinemas from July 25th.

The official synopsis reads:
An epic and darkly funny symphony of family dysfunction, DYING follows the estranged members of the Lunies family as they wrestle with chaotic private lives. Son Tom, a well-regarded conductor, is too preoccupied to give his ailing parents the attention they need. He’s juggling work – overseeing a new orchestral piece – and a confusing relationship with an ex who wants him to co-parent her newborn child. Meanwhile, daughter Ellen fumbles through life plagued by alcohol-induced blackouts and an affair with a married colleague.
