The story

Bernard Fripp is a man who, on attending a routine check-up, is diagnosed by his doctor as having a rare disease leaving him only 30 minutes to live. By the time he leaves the surgery, he only has 24 minutes left, in which he attempts to live life to the full; taking out his life savings, trying to make peace with God (via a vicar), attempting to learn about the significance of the Mona Lisa, reading the back cover of War and Peace to find out what happens in it, listening to Remo Giazotto's Adagio in G minor and looking for true love.
