Beskrivelse: Polidor reads on the newspaper about an exclusive club where the members randomly select the one among them who will have to commit suicide. At night Polidor dreams to go to the Death Club. Suddenly one of the members announces that it is time for the drawing, and naturally he is the lucky one drawn. Celebrated by everyone, Polidor doesn’t appear enthusiastic, but the members are categorical: if he won’t commit suicide they will have to eliminate him. Polidor tries to escape, but he is chased by a flying skull and by some mysterious feet ready to push him back to the club. The other members, understanding his hesitation, get ready to kill him themselves, but destroying Polidor is not simple! Also this time he succeeds to escape turning everything upside down. The video is a copy from the film print held by the National Cinema Museum: 35mm, acetate, positive, black and white, 196 m, 10’ to 18 fps, Italian intertitles, silent. The preservation work was conducted in 1998 at the Haghefilm laboratory in Amsterdam.
