Synopsis
In this whimsical blend of fantasy and comedy, a down-on-his-luck man finds himself in a rather precarious afterlife. After meeting an untimely demise, he is whisked away to Hell, where he encounters Barney, the devilishly charming Devil. In a shocking twist, Max is offered a chance to return to Earth with a tantalizing deal: if he can convince three innocent souls to sell their souls within two months, he can avoid an eternity in the underworld. Armed with newfound powers, Max embarks on a humorous quest, but the task proves far more challenging than he ever anticipated. As Max navigates the trials of his mission, he faces unexpected obstacles, including the demands of a precocious seven-year-old named Tobi, who insists that Max marry his mother. This delightful film explores themes of redemption, the complexity of human desires, and the true meaning of innocence, all wrapped up in a lighthearted narrative that keeps viewers engaged. With its quirky characters and a plot that deftly balances humor and heart, this film is a unique entry in the fantasy genre that reminds us that sometimes, the path to salvation is paved with laughter and love.
