Grave Decisions

The story follows Sebastian, an 11-year-old boy who believes he is condemned to purgatory due to the belief that he accidentally caused his mother's death at birth.

This leads to comedic and dark situations, particularly when Lorenz falls for his schoolteacher, Veronika, who is already married.

The film's runtime is 105 minutes, providing a compact yet engaging narrative that balances humor with poignant themes of family and loss. This film appeals to those interested in international cinema, especially within the realms of dark comedy and drama.
