A touching farce about a successful director of romantic comedies in his senior years who, while addressing his Last Will and Testament, applies for a job as assistant groundskeeper in a cemetery because he’d like to work outdoors with his hands. But his family, friends and neighbors misunderstand and assume he is dying, crowding into his apartment to express their last farewells and to clumsily philosophize about the meaning of life.
“…peak Hal Hartley, warm and optimistic, damnedly funny and vital.” ABC Radio - Paul F. Verhoeven
“In an age of brain-lacerating tech and herdlike algorithmic group-think, Hartley stands out in ever-greater contrast as a quietly intransigent auteur force.” VICE Magazine - Kevin Khara
