I wanted to make a comedy full of warmth, gentleness and clever humor.
Filip works as a professional movie extra and he always plays roles of dead bodies. On the set of a historical film, he meets Lucy, who also happens to be an extra, playing a role of a dead woman. Whilst laying on top of each other during long filmmaking hours a bittersweet relationship develops between them in the unusual circumstances.
