A death row inmate traditionally has the right to choose his last meal. The custom originated in funeral rites where the deceased was provided with food and drink for the long journey to the afterlife. The link between the contemporary ritual and its spiritual origin is completely blurred; the concept of a "last meal" has become something very absurd and creepy. In this haunting documentary Swedish filmmakers and artists Bigert Mats and Lars Bergström investigate the history and the facts surrounding this bizarre tradition.
