The Living NEET

2019 · 1 season

A slow-burning, darkly funny family portrait that unsettles as much as it amuses, with a strange small-town atmosphere.

Overview: El Mort Viu portraits the Gifra family: the father, Joan, unmotivated and unemployed, a passionate follower of Saint Rabuci; Marc, the ever-angry older brother, a hard-working yet embittered man who has taken the reigns of the family; and the problematic younger son Llàtzer, a NEET parasite that feeds on the decline of his family and the birth of a monster settling in a very peculiar town, between dramedy and fantasy, through the filter of Spanish tradition of very dark humor.
How it feels: Dark, absurd, satirical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, isolation, class, identity
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
