English title: The Phantom Carriage
It’s New Year’s Eve, and the Salvation Army sister, Edit, is on her deathbed. She has one final wish: to speak to the incorrigible and guilt-ridden drunkard David Holm before she dies. Meanwhile, David Holm is sitting in a graveyard with his drinking companions, only to soon realize that the driver of death’s carriage is coming for him. The last person to die on New Year’s Eve becomes death’s driver, tasked with harvesting new souls in the coming year. But this new duty gives David Holm a chance to reflect on his life and the many wrongs he has committed.
