What is life? Is it the longings of lovers, the fear of ageing, the rebellious struggle for a dignified death or the hunt for the most clicks? Is it just a show, perhaps? This film paints a multilayered picture of our existence, reintroducing the taboo subject of death into the cycle of life. A ruined love affair, an old man begging for euthanasia, a live show in which the contestants are mercilessly sacrificed to the audience, a dancer who cannot escape the ageing process despite constant self-optimising, and the person in the mask who wants to be famous at all costs intersect in various storylines. And between all these, a hearse driver rolls his “clientele” along an endless corridor and comes to his own conclusions about life and death.
