A tragicomic search full of tenderness, despair, and unexpected comfort.
The relationship between two sisters changes abruptly when the eldest announces with great flair that she no longer wants to live. What that ‘not living’ should look like exactly, she doesn't know yet, because she finds dying terrifying. Still, she is convinced that she wants to stop existing, or almost anyway.
The youngest is forced to take on the role of caregiver. Determined to change her sister's mind, she does everything in her power to prove that life is worth it.
Tiramisu is a tragicomic performance that asks heavy questions without losing the light. About comfort, tenderness, and the shaky attempts to keep someone above water.
The title Tiramisu refers not coincidentally to the original meaning of the word: 'lift me up', 'pull me up'.
