Many might have wondered what their family and friends would say about them after they pass away. In this film script Theo Ehrismann witnesses his own funeral. When he returns from a short trip that no one knew about, he reads his own obituary. An unknown person had stolen his car, crashed it and burned it completely. Theo does not reveal his identity to the mourners either at the funeral or at the funeral reception.
