Veteran actor Tony Barry plays a jocular undertaker in an eerie and suspenseful short film. It is called Philosophy, and is the story of a man who finds himself at a crossroads. He embarks upon an increasingly uneasy journey in a hearse along a deserted highway. An empty road. A student of philosophy. A hearse. A driver. A coffin in the back. Where will the journey end?
