Down with Death!

Thomas is 47 and spends his time rushing between hospitals and cemeteries, comforting some, burying others. Death swoops down on a whole generation, endlessly inventing new ways to go about its business: AIDS, overdose, suicide. Although Thomas thinks life’s a real bitch, he still lives it to the full. He playfully lies, fools around, fools himself, makes mistakes, his whole gang on his side all the while. Nostalgia isn’t his kind of thing. Memorial ceremonies are a ridiculous joke, it’s friendship that counts – as does the radical, absurd slogan: “Down with Death!” –uniFrance
