In August 2012, tired from a degenerative illness, Sonia Jaramillo chose the day and how she would die with dignity. During an entire month, she organized lunches and spoke with her family while preparing them for her last goodbye. Lunch with Sonia is a recount of the emotions of her previous day, written and choreographed by her nephew Federico Restrepo Jaramillo as he remembers it, calling attention to the intimate and personal nature of dying.
