When Death Becomes a Mirror to Life
What would you do if you had just one week to live? This question sits at the heart of Veronika's journey-a beautiful 24-year-old Slovenian woman who meticulously arranges her possessions before swallowing four packs of sleeping pills. Her suicide attempt fails, but a doctor delivers devastating news: her heart is irreversibly damaged, and she has only days to live. The irony isn't lost on Veronika, who responds with a quiet smile: "So I succeeded, then." Her death wish granted in this unexpected way, Veronika finds herself in Villete, Slovenia's infamous asylum-a place where the boundaries between sanity and madness blur into something more profound than either. Veronika wasn't depressed in the conventional sense. Life had simply become unbearably predictable. Each day followed the same pattern-the same bars, the same lake walks, the same TV shows. She maintained emotional distance in relationships, choosing security over risk. When a magazine article asked "Where is Slovenia?"-a seemingly trivial question-it sparked her final act of defiance: a suicide note explaining her country's location between Austria, Italy, and Croatia. This peculiar farewell reveals the heart of her despair-not sadness, but a profound weariness with the monotonous predictability of existence and her powerlessness to change anything meaningful.
