JURAJ HERZ

Plot

Kopfrkingl enjoys running the local crematorium, where he tends the ovens, looks after his personal hygiene, reads the Tibetan Book of the Dead and liberates the souls of the departed. But this is the late 1930s and the Nazis are knocking on the gates. A gothic comedy horror from the Czech New Wave.
