Branko undertakes his last journey. Prior to his passing, he makes the final arrangements for his funeral, and attempts to enjoy his remaining days as much as possible. Though he experiences emotional ups and downs, he works to remain in good humor as those around him admire his perseverance. Finally, Branko and the people close to him must say their goodbyes. With reserve and visual precision, THE LAST CHAPTER follows Branko in his remaining days, and offers an experience of his preparation to venture onto the ultimate unknown territory.
