Cedric(2006)

Cedric is a darkly comic film that reimagines death itself as a business opportunity. When Death takes a rare break from his eternal duties, his ambitious nephew Cedric seizes the moment to launch AFTER LIFE, a sleek corporation that modernizes the ancient craft of dying. Armed with cutting-edge technology and global ambitions, Cedric transforms death from a solemn inevitability into a marketable service. The film explores what happens when a family business—one that's literally been around forever—collides with startup culture and corporate greed. As Death returns to discover his nephew's unauthorized empire, chaos erupts between the old guard and the new wave. Cedric balances absurdist humor with philosophical questions about mortality, mortality, and what it means when humanity tries to commodify the one thing that's always been free.
