ORIGINAL TITLE

Håndtering av udøde

In Stockholm, after an inexplicable phenomenon, the dead begin to return from their graves, not as flesh-eating zombies, but as loved ones reunited with their families. As the city grapples with an unprecedented challenge, three families navigate a mixture of grief, fear, and incredible relief. However, as they try to cope with the newfound situation, they start to wonder - how long can we hold on to those we've lost? And what are we willing to do to keep them? "Handling the Undead" is a unique contribution to the zombie genre with an original premise and a tangible Nordic noir atmosphere with a humanistic message.

This year we are privileged to welcome the film crew to Fantastic Zagreb film festival, and we are happy to invite to Q&A after the screening!
