"If you think life is strange, wait till you see what comes next."

 

Summary:

A famous movie actor Cesar Valentin (Peter O'Toole) claims that he has written a book. As result, the real author (Colin Firth), not a very well known writer, vengenfully kills him but then dies as a result of an accident. Next, they both find themselves in after-life, where souls of all famous people are gathered. As afterlife goes on, Valentin finds himself forgotten and his accommodations downgraded, and the previously frustrated writer, who has gained notoriety for his crime, moves up.
