What happens

Grave Decisions (German: Wer früher stirbt ist länger tot, literally The sooner you die, the longer you'll be dead) is a 2006 comedy directed by Marcus H. Rosenmüller which plays in the fictitious Upper Bavarian village of Germringen. The film is about an 11-year-old Bavarian boy (Sebastian Schneider) who feels responsible for his mother's death, who died during his birth, and naively attempts multiple ways to reach immortality (procreation, reincarnation, sanctification, rockstardom) to prevent his tenure in hell.
