Synopsis

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Funeral, a short comedy from director Max Barber, is a story about life, love, death, and making the most of the time you have in the land of the living.

Kevin is a spiritually challenged employee at a firm of undertakers who unwillingly gets the chance to change his life after something strange, happens on the way to the funeral.

While transporting a body for burial in his hearse, Kevin finds himself seduced by a leggy blonde for some heavy petting in a secluded wood on route. But as he abandons his vehicle and follows the mysterious woman into the trees, the hearse rolls back towards a nearby lake and ejects the coffin out into the waters.

This is only just the beginning of Kevin's problems - and salvation. With only an hour before the funeral he desperately struggles to retrieve the coffin and at the same time discovers the enigmatic woman is not quite what she seems - in more ways than one.

SUPERNATURAL CHARM

KELLY RAFELLE wrote on 02/18/2011:

What a nice surprise to see a trans-gender film that breaks the norm and tackles some thought provoking issues in such a delightful and entertaining way. I won’t do any story spoilers – but this is as much a character piece as it is a charming and dark tale of redemption – and the performances of ‘Georgina’ is engaging and memorable. A witty and well planned script – with as many lighter moments as there is dark. Writer – Director, Max Barber – who made an underestimated documentary about the British human rights activist, Peter Tatchell, in 2005, seems as skilled in tackling heavyweight social issues, as well as fluffy entertainment. Nice little pun after the credits too which ties up a tiny loose end that I didn’t catch on to while watching the film.
