For some people affection comes easily. It can be a totally genuine feeling over which two people can relate and grow. For others, it requires a much more deliberate and forced approach. Shot on location in Prague, Czech Republic, STIFF is a troubling tale about a Mortician with an obsession, which he is all too eager to confront. Audiences at the FAMU International Film Festival in Prague weren't sure if they should cry or laugh. Although filmed by two American director's STIFF is filmed in the Czech language with Czech actors.
