A Matter of Death and Life
Director Fruzsina Skrabski
Countries Hungary
Duration 52 min
Synopsis
This film is based on the writer and director’s personal grief. Fruzsina Skrabski started to make the film after her father died and sadly also lost her mother while the film was being made. The questions she asks are the ones everybody has. We all want to know what happens before life and after death but we only ever give these questions any serious thought when we or someone we love has an encounter with death. When does life begin? From what point does a person possess a soul? Does such a thing as the soul actually exist? Is abortion equivalent to murder? What happens after a person dies? Heaven? Reincarnation? Nothing?
