Why watch this film?
Death does not select, man does. Set in Budapest, Heavenly Shift offers an eerie insight into the everyday lives of a rather extraordinary ambulance crew. The films main character is Milan, a young refugee from the Balkan War, who joins a team of paramedics but inadvertently ends up involved in the funeral business in order to finance his fiancee s rescue from the hostilities.
"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."
