UKA-UKA

An eight-year-old boy spends the summer with his grandparents. Bored, he hides in a car trunk, only to be driven by his funeral-director grandfather to the cemetery. From the shadows, he silently observes the world of the dead. Returning home to find his grandparents frantic with worry, he pushes the game too far—leading to a tragic outcome that changes his life forever.
