Das Institut für kurzfristige Wiederbelebung zur Aufklärung ungeklärter Erbschaftsangelegenheiten

2026 · 15 min

A wry, high-concept short that plays bureaucratic absurdity against a sudden personal dilemma, brisk and a little dark.

Overview
Dying is usually a straightforward matter. Unless the will contains formal errors. In that case, the Institute for Short-Term Resuscitation for the Resolution of Unresolved Inheritance Matters steps in to resolve unsettled claims. But when spokesperson Dr. Kopalski’s sister suddenly finds herself in the chair, he has to decide: the institute or his sister? Life or death?
