We like to think of ourselves as civilized people, but our mask of neighborliness often hides a callous lack of empathy for other people.

This surrealist horror comedy pulls no punches: its bizarre stories are inventive, funny, sometimes harsh, and always ruthlessly honest – no matter whether the equally bizarre protagonists are crotchety retirees dozing by the TV, a dogged real estate agent selling a flat with a hanged man inside, or a bride and groom who aren’t all that sure about the decision they’re about to make…
