A short film, Comedy. The solar system, Earth, 2019. Stereotypical DEATH (4.5 billion, mythical creature) is trying to socialise with human beings however his ability to take the life away from the living is the cause of ill fortune he has to face.
Will he be able to disconnect from his grimy lonely life and try on a successful happy life that he envies human beings?

Theme:
Death is a mythical creature which is either feared or wished for amongst society. The first perception still prevails over the second making the topic of death fairly separated and unacceptable to discuss in most of the situation humans find themselves in. The topic is quite controversial as everyone has a different perception of it based on personal experience. Death should not be however not be isolated from us as it is a natural occurrence and will sadly affect us throughout our life. Death is not only scary painful process it could be also saving people from pain and transporting them into heaven or another afterlife realm of peace. Therefore, it should become a normally accepted thing to talk about and more embraced by society.
