Plot

Famous British comedy troupe Monty Python present a series of vignettes that cover the meaning of life, death, and everything in between with whimsy and irreverence. Their approach to the issue involves breaking life down into four different seasons and examining what makes us tick at each of these stages in our life. In doing so, they ask questions about Roman Catholic doctrine, the vagaries of the Hippocratic Oath, and the inherent celebrity status of the Grim Reaper. They might not find the real meaning of life, but their pointed commentary offers a mischievous look into some genuinely thoughtful points.
