She (Grace Glowicki) is a gravedigger and she's deeply unhappy as the stench that comes with the job kees her from ever finding a mate.- until she meets a poet (Ben Petrie) who is drawn to her because of her odor. They have sex almost immediately, and she never wants to let him go and have children with him. He however suffers from dead sperm. He doesn't dare to tell her though but just sneaks out of the house to seek treatment abroad. And on his way back to his lover, he dies in a shipwreck, and a severed finger is all of the remains of him that could be found, a finger that's ultimately sent to the gravedigger. She can't accept the death of her one true love and pants the finger in a flower pot and injects it with lizard blood, hoping that his body will grow back again - with not quite the success she has hoped for, as the finger comes to life and grows a few feet long, but that's about it. So she attaches the finger to the newely deceased body of an opera singer (Leah Doz), and wouldn't you know it, the corpse comes to life, but now has her complete new personality, part finger, part singer and part lizard, and she isn't in love with the gravedigger at all. So she escapes the first chance she gets to find herself a new lover (Ben Petrie again), while the singer's husband (Lowen Morrow) isn't at all amused his wife's grave has been desecrated by the gravedigger ...

Dead Lover is quite probably the most unusual film you have seen in quite some time: Despite employing many tropes of horror and dark romance, the film's story feels utterrly unique, the film's script features many a surreal element, mixed with weird and sometimes pretty crude humour, and the film's visuals almost never aim for realism, are abstract at times, at times cartoonish, and often have an intentionally homemade feel to them. The result then is decidedly odd and probably not for everyone - but with a decidedly odd sense of humour you'll have a great time watching this.
