THE AMAZING DEATH OF MRS.MULLER (Short film)
8 minutes
The perfect wife/lady/hausfrau - Mrs. Müller lies with her face down in the coffin. Her wimpy husband and her two perfect children are there to pay their last respects. What happened? Why does Mrs. Müller lay down on her stomach with her face down? The bizzare backstory unveils itself with a flashback to the weird bowling tournament. Two contestants are left. Mrs. Müller and the provokative performance bowler - Pekka Tango and his mentor/sidekick Juggernaut who's trying to sabotage as much as they can for Mrs. Müller.
Constantly provoking her and her family in trying to knock her off balance and disturb her concentration/focus. Several times she's close to R.I.P. mode. While an electronic power failure caused by Pekka, her bowling ball fly by her face like a cannon ball. Later as she has fallen to the floor after being slightly electrisuted the ball brutally smashes down into the floor one inch from her fragile face. What ever Pekka & Juggernaut do they can't seem to get to her. Her luck is unbelievable but as the title of the film says - but the luck is about to change...
