Na jornada de Daniel, o ouvinte vai se deparar com o cotidiano de um estudante de medicina que, junto a uma equipe de paliativistas do SUS, assiste a pacientes–em sua maioria, pessoas periféricas, carentes tanto de suporte econômico quanto de suporte psicológico. Se a finitude da existência ainda é um assunto tabu em nosso cotidiano, as dores e as angústias (tanto físicas quanto morais) que, muitas vezes, antecedem a morte, constituem temáticas ainda mais interditas na sociedade.

Was ist der Tod, wie bereite ich mich vor und was kommt danach? Was passiert genau beim Vorgang des Sterbens? Wie beeinflusst mein gelebtes Leben bzw. vor allem meine aktuelle Bewusstheit und innere Reife den Prozess des Übergangs? Wie besteht unser Bewusstsein im Jenseits weiter fort und welche Wege kann es einschlagen nach dem Übergang? Welche Bedeutung hat Reinkarnation in diesem Zusammenhang?
