Pero, is
thirty years old and lives
in a village in Slovenia.
He makes his
living writing funeral speeches which give voice to his literary
ambitions and
his ideas about the world. "The
film wants to tell a story about
common intimacy. The only thing I really want from this film is that at
least
some of the people who see it will join this intimacy and experience it
as if
it was their own. The idea of Gravehopping is
not to tell, to explain, to disapprove or
approve of anything. Therefore, as a person watching the film, you do
not have
the role of a
critic, you are just there
watching it. The things exist, are complete in themselves. I wish that
people
would feel the essence of living, which does not need to be judged or
evaluated."
