Stranded and hopeless on a deserted island, a lonely man finds an unexpected way to survive when a corpse washes ashore.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re up for an odd, sweet, gross-out adventure that mixes absurd laughs with sincere feelings, like Wristcutters: A Love Story or The One I Love; Not for you if crude body humor or offbeat surreal stories turn you off.
Pros: wildly original premise; surprisingly heartfelt; big laugh moments | Cons: gross-out humor heavy; uneven pacing late; may feel too weird
