Perusu

Perusu (2025) follows two estranged brothers who return home for what should be a simple funeral, only to discover that although their father is dead, something inside him is inexplicably still alive. What begins as a solemn duty devolves into chaotic farce as they struggle to conduct the burial discreetly while keeping this shocking secret from nosy relatives, meddling neighbors, and the police. The brothers are forced to confront not only the practical impossibility of their situation but also the emotional fallout of a lifetime spent at odds with each other and with the man they thought they knew.

Equal parts dark comedy and intimate family drama, Perusu mines humor from the absurdity of the brothers’ predicament and pathos from their slow, reluctant reconnection. As hidden family truths surface and alliances shift, the film tests whether two fractured men can put aside old grievances to protect what remains of their family — and whether preserving appearances is worth losing themselves. Tense, tender, and often surprising, Perusu turns a funeral into a crucible where grief, guilt, and love collide.
