    Brief synopsis

    An arborist at dizzying treetop heights, the managing director concerned about business, who worries about the declining death toll, and two stonemasons to whom the afterlife also seems very close.
    LIFE FOR DEATH portrays the institution of the Vienna Central Cemetery through the people who work there or spend their free time there.
    Franz Grabner Award in the category of television documentary, Diagonale '19 in Graz.
    "A place that is open to all denominations and in all its diversity is a reflection of the city of Vienna in a special way. A film that discovers the fantastic in the real and the real in the fantastic."
