In a small town lost in the middle of nowhere, Edmond Zweck's funeral business is on the wing. The company now has only two employees: Georges, Zweck's right-hand man, and Eddy, a young man still a novice in the trade. One fine morning, however, a dead man pointed his nose. Hope is born again. Georges and Eddy are responsible for leading the deceased to his last abode. But in search of the cemetery that can not be found, the funeral convoy goes astray and the journey turns into a fiasco.

VIBE

A darkly comedic and melancholic journey through the absurdities of life and death. This film feels like a quirky, character-driven arthouse piece, best enjoyed during a quiet, contemplative watch.
