Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself

Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself is a 2002 Danish-Scottish drama film directed by Lone Scherfig[1] and starring Jamie Sives, Adrian Rawlins, Shirley Henderson, Lisa McKinlay, Mads Mikkelsen, and Julia Davis.

Harbour and his suicidal brother, Wilbur, inherit their father's secondhand bookshop in their native Glasgow.

Harbour manages the shop and meets Alice, who sells him books she finds when working as a hospital cleaner.

The wedding meal is held at an Asian restaurant and allows Wilbur to get acquainted with Sophie, Alice's ex-colleague from the hospital.

Before Mary's birthday party, Alice asks Harbour to buy some whipped cream at the supermarket, where he has a fit.

He wakes up at the hospital, where Dr Horst, a psychologist he has met often through Wilbur, tries to convince him to get treatment for pancreatic cancer.

The two men share a bottle of whisky, Dr Horst believing that such is the condition of Harbour's liver that a little alcohol will be insignificant.

In his hospital room, Harbour takes an overdose of pills and trims his fingernails before lying in bed fully clothed.
