The Polish Government has established a fund that helps the family of a deceased citizen with funerals costs. One of the most vigilant and influent undertaking entrepreneurs, with the help of paramedics and ambulance workers, started to gather information on unlucky potential clients. Wearing the costume of a well written black comedy, Swedish documentary filmmakers Fredrik von Krusenstjerna and Richard Solarz, along with the investigative journalist Monika Sieradzka, follow the steps of one of the larges recent scandals and discover the strategy used to improve the undertaking business: well-paid paramedics can swift and efficiently raise the number of deceased persons. The rest is negotiation.
