Synopsis:

Topalović family consists of six living generations of male descendants who are all in the mortician business. The only rebel in the family is the youngest Mirko who does not want to continue the family tradition. His father Laki, grandpa Milutin, rheumatic great grandpa Aksentije, dumb and almost completely deaf great-great grandpa Maksimilijana bound to a wheelchair and great-great-great grandpa Pantelija who is very sick are all appalled. Mirko is in love with Kristina, daughter of a local criminal that the Topalović family relies on for good business.
