About

Death does not select, man does. Set in Budapest, Heavenly Shift offers an eerie insight into the everyday lives of a rather extraordinary ambulance crew. The films main character is Milan, a young refugee from the Balkan War, who joins a team of paramedics but inadvertently ends up involved in the funeral business in order to finance his fiancee s rescue from the hostilities.

This dark comedy finds humor in the macabre by following an ambulance crew that blurs the line between saving lives and managing death. Milan’s transition from a war refugee to a funeral industry novice turns a somber Budapest setting into a stage for the absurd.
