Synopsis

A man goes to see his former schoolmate working at a boiler house and persuades him to burn in the furnace the corpse of his communal flat neighbor whom he has just murdered after a quarrel.

--

Three stories, three murders, three murderers: a man, a woman and a child. Each of these novellas is an exquisite mix of horror and black humour, subtlety and brutality. Perfect in its rigorous form, the film dwells upon the intrinsic imperfection of human nature.
