Starring twice Oscar nominated, BAFTA/Emmy Award winning actress Julie Waters, A Short Stay in Switzerland is a moving dramatisation of the true story of Dr Anne Turner, whose assisted suicide in a Zurich clinic made headline news.

Dr Turner was accompanied to Switzerland by her son and two daughters, who witnessed her death. With a lightness of touch, dark wit and a heartwrenching humanity, A Short Stay in Switzerland explores the controversial issue of assisted suicide through the very personal prism of this extraordinary family.
