Synopsis

“There is no place like home / There is no place like hell...”

A one-eyed has-been TV presenter hides away in a hotel room with his dead sidekick to watch reruns from their better days. “Let’s revive some of our moments now” he says to the corpse in his arms. “It’s OK, I’m just glad you are here.”
