Veronika Decides to Die unfolds the gripping story of a young woman, Veronika, who seems to have the ideal life with beauty, relationships, and a caring family. Despite these blessings, a profound emptiness plagues her soul, leading her to a drastic decision to end her life. Surviving her suicide attempt, Veronika awakens in a mental hospital with a dire prognosis: just a few days left to live due to heart damage from the overdose. Within this transient existence, Veronika embarks on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, where the confinements of the hospital ward become the backdrop for a personal renaissance. In her fleeting timeline, she encounters a gamut of emotions and experiences, from revulsion and dread to curiosity and amorous awakenings. With each tick of the clock, she confronts the stark choices between life and death, ultimately inching closer to a profound appreciation of existence. Paulo Coelho's moving narrative is a testament to the unconventional paths to finding life's meaning, challenging societal norms, and embracing every moment as a precious opportunity for rebirth.
