The figure of death hangs over a group of friends and relatives. He materializes before the head of the family and announces that he plans a holiday. Death decides to take human form and walk among this circle of friends for a limited time. When he does, all death stops in the world and causes more problems than you might think. The dark angel also finds a love interest.
A poetic and moving film with eerie subtle special effects and great performance by Frederick March as Death.
