Four orphans meet at the funeral home where their parents are being cremated at the same time. They get together and form a rock band, which is only the beginning of this darkly comic satire about death, mourning, mass-media and being young. The adventurous, colourful visual style playfully illustrates the daydreams of the characters, making this film as vibrant and youthful as its protagonists.

Vier weeskinderen ontmoeten elkaar in het uitvaartcentrum waar hun ouders toevallig op dezelfde dag gecremeerd worden. Ze besluiten samen een rockband te beginnen, wat slechts het begin is van deze zwart-komische satire over de dood, rouw, massamedia en jong zijn. De kleurrijke visuele stijl maakt dat de film net zo levendig en jeugdig aanvoelt als zijn hoofdrolspelers.
