The story is set between the two World wars. The Topalovic family consists of five generations of males, with the youngest one aged 25 and the oldest aged 150. Conflicts break out in the family because the youngest member refuses to carry on the morticians’ trade, which for decades, from generation to generation has been his family’s occupation. The manufacturing of coffins is more and more lucrative, new technologies are introduced, burials are faster and easier, the era of crematoriums is here. But the youngest member of the family, Mirko, is not interested.

Many, many thanks to my dear friend Mateja for the much improved English subtitles, no idea who made the original English subtitles for this film as I couldn’t find the author. When I was checking the quality of these subtitles I found online I noticed some errors but because I don’t know any Serbian I didn’t really notice how bad it really was until my friend told me after checking them in detail so this is a pretty much a completely new translation, also, quoting Mateja: “it’s a tough movie to translate as so much of it relies on word play and very specific dialogue”. Thanks again, Mateja, for taking the time to create proper subs for this great film. Enjoy, everyone!
This was great!
