As they navigate a post-apocalyptic city 'K' (Johann Myers) and 'Z' (Geza Rohrig) collect bodies, loading them on to their truck whilst recounting gruesome stories from a forsaken past. As tale upon tale deftly rolls into the next, passing between narrators, we witness a series of darkly comic fables brimming with foreboding - each as terrifically macabre and nightmarish as the one before.

This is a gloriously odd film, and has a really unabashed feel about it â which makes it inadvertently feel real and true, and even more haunting.
The landscape is laid out from the start, as we meet two scrappily dressed men in frozen conditions, who are throwing a dead body, found rotting on a wintry pavement, into the back of an already-full van.
Set in a near future, in an Europe that is a pale imitation of its past, this is a scary-looking premonition of a broken world.
We then are launched into the dreamlike and surreal atmosphere that pervades throughout. Body collector K (Johann Myers) tells his colleague Z (Geza Rohrig) about a strange dream haunting him.
