Short description:
The story takes place between two wars. In family Topalovic, consisted of five generations of men, there's a conflict, because the youngest one doesn't want to be undertaker. He is convinced that there are better jobs, supported by his girlfriend and best friend. The three of them are crazy about movies, and want to try their luck. The girl's father, with whom Topalovics cooperate (he digs out the dead-man's coffins, and Topalovics are using them) comes in conflict with them. Since his girl was cheating on him with his best friend, the youngest Topalovic murders her. He returns to his family as a criminal. They accept him as their leader now, a new generation representative who will take inconsideration as basic morality measure.
