In an outback shed, Dr Nitschke builds his prototype death machine, the Co-Gen. The euthanasia campaigner and former physicist is determined to devise a peaceful "do-it-yourself" way to die. Meanwhile, in Perth, feisty 79-year-old, Mademoiselle Lisette Nigot plans her suicide. Perfectly healthy, the French born academic does not want to endure "the horrible decrepitation of old age". When she meets Nitschke, Nigot recounts episodes from her glamorous life-from mixing with Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys, during her time working at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, to her various lovers and libertine lifestyle. Three weeks later Lisette Nigot commits suicide.
