Life in Extensions tells the story of Tore Sercu, son of Ilse Vanbrabant and director and actor Mathias Sercu. Tore has been living in 'extensions' for over 3 years. He was diagnosed with an aggressive and incurable cancer: multiple myeloma. He was soon declared palliative and would only have 6 months to live. More than 3 years later, Tore and his family are constantly balancing between consciously saying goodbye and consciously living. A complex process that they now want to provide valuable insight into.

Sofie, as an expert by experience, prepares the eight as best as possible for everything involved in mountain climbing, while Pim, as a nature photographer and expert, prepares the participants for the special arena of the mountains and any risks this entails.
