Underground Top of the Charts

This is a film about music in a very specific context, about funeral music, dominated by grief, reaching its climax in the moments of saying goodbye to the deceased. Music plays an important role in facing grief and it is almost impossible to imagine saying goodbye to our loved ones without it. Following musicians across Croatia, the film depicts the diversity of funeral practices and the accompanying music genres. These genres have changed through time, making it possible to even compile, as this film does, entire top lists.
