In this dark, hilarious and existential Icelandic comedy, Þórhallur Sigurðsson (Fractures) stars as Benedikt, an ill-tempered grandpa who is estranged from his family and stuck in a decades-long, self-inflicted rut. After being unexpectedly diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor, he opts for a highly risky operation that has a very low probability of survival. Convinced of his imminent demise, he decides the best way to reconcile his regrets in life is by hosting his own funeral. After all, what’s the point of celebrating your life if you can’t attend the party? They don’t call it My Funeral for nothing!
