Synopse

After a regional football final, TK Donovan’s sons find him dead in a hotel bed, his last will stuck in his pocket. This letter contains a tricky clause: the football club will be the sole inheritor of his farm should TK not be buried on his beloved land – and have died there! TK must die once more: on his farm! Director John Reid confidently and quirkily mixes motifs from "Weekend at Bernie’s", early Hitchcock and the absurd charm of Polanski’s "Two Men and a Wardrobe" with hefty New Zealand humour.


Regie

John Reid, born in 1946, director for both TV and cinema. Directed 67 episodes of the legendary "The Tribe" series between 1999 and 2003. Other films include "The Last Tattoo" (1994), "Leave All Fair" (1985) and "Middle Age Spread" (1978).
