Short film The right to love is a family drama, concerning a wide range of family interactions and ranges beyond the typical idea of a family. Mother Magda is ill. She has ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). She is aware of the fact that she has only few more months to live (50% of the patients die in 18 months), but her ability to speak will evaporate in few weeks, therefore she decides to gather her family and speak about the family secrets, which pressures and binds the whole family.
