See the films the platforms disagree about most →In Havana, Cuba, a slacker named Juan and his lazy friends spend their days concocting get-rich-quick schemes. When the city is suddenly overrun by zombies, the government dismisses them as "dissidents" influenced by American propaganda. Seeing an opportunity, Juan starts a business called "Juan of the Dead," offering to dispose of the undead relatives of panicked citizens for a fee. His entrepreneurial venture leads them on a chaotic and comedic fight for survival through the streets of a Havana under siege.
