No Days Off for Death” is a film that depicts an altered rendition of our own world to explore themes of grief and over corporatisation, the narrative takes place from two perspectives that ultimately come together; one of a nameless Grim Reaper (only referred to as “Death”) who only wants to take a long overdue holiday from their endless mundane work in the corporate underworld and a grieving man (Max) contemplating committing suicide after a breakup leaves him at the end of his rope. When Death is sent on a job to see that Max goes through with his plan, they decided to try and convince Max to keep on living, an altruistic act Max reluctantly engages with even if death just wants their holiday.
