The elderly couple Ernst and Leni regularly bet on the last piece of chocolate. They bet as to who of them will die first. Both want to die before the other partner, but each for their own reasons. With dark humor and unsentimental directness, but still with a big heart, they both show that they don’t want to be without each other.
