Emil tells the story of an employee of a crematory, middle-aged bachelor man, living with his immobilized mother and secretly being in love with his female colleague. Emil is a grumpy character caught in between his work and his lonely private life after he had failed his career as an actor years ago. The sudden change in his life comes when he is diagnosed with cancer and Emil`s safety of daily routines and selfish motivations are confronted with something bigger. Bigger than life, to be exact. Death. After a series of explosions of anger, he slowly starts to look for his way to accept the truth, with a little help from his paranoid neighbor, who you can never tell if he is really trying to help or just proving that you are wrong at all costs. Paradoxically, as his health becomes weaker, Emil starts to realize there might be some things to live for he might have never thought of before.
Produced by D.N.A. Production and created by Peter Gašparík, Peter Bebjak, Emil is one of the projects of MIA|Cinema Co-Production Market & Pitching Forum. To find out more on this and other projects click here.
