Overview

An advertising executive dies and goes to hell... except nothing changes. Well, his daughter is buying drugs with sexual favours from her brother, and the number of cancer-causing products is on the increase. But the notes he writes to himself to prove he hasn't gone insane are getting more disjointed, and he runs off with an ex-prostitute called Honey Barbera.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A delirious descent into the blurred line between hell and reality, where an advertising exec's post-death existence becomes increasingly surreal and unmoored. It's a darkly comic existential fever dream that asks whether the world itself might be the punishment.
