Yagub, a carpenter, earns most of his money from the coffins he makes. He also has to look after his son, who has a disability.


Student Oscar, German Critics Award and over 25 prizes at international festivals, Elmar Imanov's film is about the coffin maker Yagub, and his mentally handicapped son Musa.


The carpenter Yagub earns his money mainly with coffins he makes for Georgians and Russians. The son's clumsiness is met with contempt and mistreatment by Yagub. Then Musa is diagnosed with a fatal disease. The old carpenter then tries to get closer to his son and make his last days pleasant.


"The two leading actors display great acting skills even with the sparse dialogue. An authentic, atmospheric and moving short film." (fbw-film rating.com)
