Plot
Nikos is a master of funeral ceremonies (that's undertaker to you and me) who doesn't expect much from life. After drunkenly insulting a diplomat at a party, weird things begin to happen for Nikos.
Sinekatalog’s take
An undertaker rises to power after one drunken night, in a satire of social climbing and opportunism. The comedy is biting and well-worn. A sly, funny remake of a familiar tale for fans of political satire.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
