Movie in German language: Der Tod ist ein Arschloch

Bestselling author Eric Wrede, known as arguably Germany’s most unconventional undertaker, and his team take us on a journey to the edge of life in *Death Is a Bastard* – a journey that is as moving as it is brutally honest. Set against a backdrop of crematoria, living rooms brimming with memories and conversations with the bereaved, the film does not reverently shake hands with death, but rather laughs cheekily in its face.

With wit, warmth and a great deal of empathy, the film asks: Why do we so consistently repress the inevitable – and what would happen if we finally let death into our lives? Eric Wrede opens doors to a new way of dealing with farewells, grief and remembrance – at times provocative, at times profound, but always human.

*Death Is a Arschloch* is not a dry documentary, but a courageous portrait of dying in our society – and a plea to finally start living life to the full again. Radically honest. Refreshingly different. And bloody necessary.
