Kopfrkingl enjoys his job at a crematorium in Czechoslovakia in the late 1930s. He likes reading the Tibetan book of the dead, and espouses the view that cremation relieves earthly suffering. At a reception, he meets Reineke, with whom he fought for Austria in the first World War. Reineke convinces Kopfrkingl to emphasize his supposedly German heritage, including sending his timid son to the German school. Reineke then suggests that Kopfrkingl's half-Jewish wife is holding back his advancement in his job.

nevjerojatan film koji ne spada u klasičnu vrstu horora, ali on žanrovski je horor jer je i sam redatelj rekao da želi napraviti horor film. Kadriranje, sama režija, stilski nevjerojatan film. Zoomovi prema liku pa presjecanje kadra kako bi dobili dojam što mu se događa u glavi. Čak sam imao osmijeh preko čitavog lica kroz većinu filma jer stvari koje govori, a pogotovo na način koji sve to govori mi je sam po sebi izuzetan. Crno bijel je film pa i to pridonosi toj atmosferu koju film ima. E sad, treba biti stvarno u fokusu za ovaj film, pa te istroši. Sve u svemu, ovo je jedan zasluženi klasik i već ima dulje u planu čehoslovački novi val obraditi tako da se tome radujem.
