Dead Body is a 2002 short film by Kaz Rahman.
Hassan, a funeral poet, is going through writer's block. Sitting at his desk in a small cramped room with his girlfriend lying on a mattress he leaves for some 'air' – instead he drifts and deviates into much more including an endless procession of chewing gum, a rotund Hungarian 'delivery man' and a sexy Russian woman. Hassan's journey has a metaphysical aspect to it and life in this surreal world is focused on the strange work, anxiety and humour that hovers over death.[1]
