Zeko and Gogi, two stereotypical criminals, have to get rid of a body on November 1st. A seemingly routine task proves much more difficult when a veterinarian, a butcher and a prostitute enter the story. It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but things are indeed very serious. After all, this is a story about cancer.
In 2013 I was diagnosed with cancer, the main reason I finally started making films.
Because life is short and you never know when it will all be over, so you might as well do what you love.
10 years after my recovery, I am able to tell this story the same way I dealt with the disease - through dark humor.
