On a hot summer day in Oslo, the dead mysteriously awaken, and three families are thrown into chaos when their loved ones come back to them. Who are they, and what do they want? A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families, a story about grief and loss, but also about hope.
