Last rites... and wrongs.
A myriad of outrageous calamities befalls an eccentric English clan with more than a few skeletons in its closets when the family's patriarch dies an unexpected death.
German (Deutsch)
- a.k.a. Sterben fuer Anfaenger
Die Trauerfeier für Daniels Vater wird zum Tollhaus: Erst wird die Leiche vertauscht, dann weigert sich sein als Literat erfolgreicher Bruder, die anteiligen Kosten zu übernehmen. Ein Onkel geht allen mit seiner Nörgelei auf den Geist. Der Verlobte einer Cousine ist versehentlich auf Drogentrip und verstört den zukünftigen Schwiegervater. Und ein Gast in Zwergengestalt versucht, mit sexuell pikanten Fotos des Verstorbenen Schweigegeld zu erpressen.

- a.k.a. Joyeuses funérailles
Le décès du père de Daniel et Robert est l'occasion pour toute la famille de se réunir lors des funérailles. Un homme atteint de nanisme profite de l'occasion pour menacer de révéler les relations sexuelles qu'il entretenait avec le défunt s'il ne reçoit pas une somme d'argent. Les deux frères vont essayer de contrôler le maître chanteur. Mais, dans leurs tentatives désespérées pour empêcher celui-ci de mettre sa menace à exécution, ils transforment la cérémonie en une véritable catastrophe, avec le concours involontaire du fiancé de leur cousine Martha, Simon qui, stressé à l'idée de faire bonne impression à sa future belle-famille, a absorbé par inadvertance un puissant hallucinogène.
Italian (Italiano)
Una normale famiglia inglese, divisa da gelosie, odi e antichi dissapori, si riunisce il giorno del funerale del patriarca. Il fidanzato della nipote del defunto assume, credendola Valium, una pastiglia allucinogena fabbricata dal fratello di lei. Uno dei due figli, apprendista scrittore, deve tenere il discorso funebre, ma è schiacciato dal confronto con suo fratello, un romanziere cinico e inaffidabile. Un nano misterioso è intenzionato a rivelare particolari torbidi riguardo il passato del morto, a meno che i suoi due discendenti non decidano di dividere con lui l'eredità…
