Trailer

Why watch this film?

This comedy of black humor, heavily influenced by Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, is a cynical look at the underworld of corruption in Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain (that bloc of countries under the influence of the Soviet Union that collapsed in the early 1990s). 'Heavenly Shift' is also an absurd but amusing look at the selfishness of human nature.
