El Mort Viu portraits the Gifra family: the father, Joan, unmotivated and unemployed, a passionate follower of Saint Rabuci; Marc, the ever-angry older brother, a hard-working yet embittered man who has taken the reigns of the family; and the problematic younger son Llàtzer, a NEET parasite that feeds on the decline of his family and the birth of a monster settling in a very peculiar town, between dramedy and fantasy, through the filter of Spanish tradition of very dark humor.
