Synopsis
Musician Drazen has died alone. The landlady of the room where he lived, alarmed by the foul smell and his absence, contacts Perla, his only friend. Fearing the worst, she reaches out to Willy, an old colleague of Drazen's, and asks him to come with her. Together, they confirm his death and notify the police. They now have 72 hours to retrieve his body from the morgue and prevent him from being buried in a common grave. With no money, no documents, and no family, the mission seems impossible. Nevertheless, Perla and Willy are determined to give a proper farewell to the friend whom life had forgotten, to the rhythm of one last blues, while confronting their own ghosts and what that music left behind in their lives.
