The story unfolds in the Slovenian countryside, where Pero an emotional and intelligent man in his thirties, works as a writer of funeral speeches.

The story unfolds in the Slovenian countryside, where Pero an emotional and intelligent man in his thirties, works as a writer of funeral speeches. But these are more than mere eulogies for the dead, since they are cleverly and intentionally intertwined with his life philosophy. The essence of the story are the relationships between the inhabitants of this small rural community, their eternal quest for warmth and love in this absurd chaos we call life. Ida is in love with Šuki, Vilma is preoccupied with her worthless husband, Pero is trying to win Renata's heart, and Dedo is tormented by feelings of loneliness and sadness since the death of his wife, which drive him to frequent but hopelessly inept suicide attempts. Although it starts out as a comedy, it develops in other directions and leads to an end that leaves Pero speechless.

The International Jury of the Film Festival for the Official Selection awards the Golden Tower - for the best film.
Award of the Ecumenical Jury
Za inventivno režijo, s katero Jan Cvitkovič usmerja dovršeni scenarij, s čimer uspešno spaja komedijo in tragedijo.
Za duhovni in fizični naboj njene igre.
Za sposobnost izžarevanja topline in strasti, ki ju zahteva lik.
Lahkoten komedijski uvod filma Odgrobadogroba zvabi gledalca v bistveno zahtevnejše nadaljevanje, v katerem vsakdanjik glavnih junakov razkrije stare in razbolele plasti njihovih življenj, v katere so usodno ujeti. Film s pogumno avtorsko držo razkriva arhetipske globine njihovih odnosov, veliko pa so k prepričljivosti tega filma dodali tudi odlični igralci in sugestivna kamera.
