Жизнь после смерти

Directed by Artem Dubra

With Vitaly Muratov, Olga Lapshina, Kirill Käro, Natalia Ushakova and Sergey Novosad

This funny and tragic film explores the struggle to cope with the death of someone close to you. The main character, Tolya, who has just entered university, is confronted with the death of his mother from cancer and unexpectedly shoulders the responsibility of organizing the funeral: obtaining a death certificate, choosing a coffin and cemetery plot, calling relatives, and meeting his long-lost father. Irony becomes Tolya's only way to cope, so the characters and the world around them transform into grotesque versions of themselves: a nurse-bartender, a sinister cross seller, and an army of ninjas. But behind every humorous detail lies genuine pain.
