Synopsis
The story is set between the two World Wars. The Topalovic family consists of five generations of males, with the youngest one aged 25 and the oldest one aged 120.
Conflicts breakout in the family because the youngest member refuses to carry on the morticians trade. He believes in better, nicer and more honest occupations. In this belief he is supported and encouraged by his girl Kristina and his best friend Djenka, owner of a small movie theatre. Kristinas father, Bili the Python, supplier of coffins to the Topalovic firm demands a larger share in the earnings. Thus these two families come into conflict. In the showdown all means are permitted.
