STORY

What do you do when your girlfriend reveals she doesn’t think you understand her... because she’s got a strange and incurable illness? You buy a coffin, put it in your living room, and try to face death yourself, that’s what.

 

When slacker Jeff’s girlfriend Kate breaks up with him because he’s too immature to “understand” her strange and terminal illness, he purchases a coffin and keeps it in the living room of the apartment he shares with his mother to prove he can master the lessons of mortality. Inspired by his coffin visions and mentored by his girlfriend’s new boyfriend Carl, a bizarre fellow whom she prefers because he was struck twice by lightning and clinically died twice, our hero undergoes a crash-course in self discovery. He’s enlightened to his lackadaisical work ethic, inspires a youthful renaissance amongst his mothers decrepit friends, and learns it’s never too late to be a new man. But is it all too little, too late? A short, sweet comedy about how short (and sweet) life can be...
