Plot

Alone on a tiny deserted island, Hank has given up all hope of ever making it home again. But one day everything changes when a dead body washes ashore, and he soon realizes it may be his last opportunity to escape certain death.

Sinekatalog’s take

A stranded man befriends a corpse with surprising abilities in one of the oddest comedies around. It is crude, tender and weirdly sincere about loneliness. Not everyone will accept the premise, but the creativity is undeniable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
