The Executioner
“An original and brilliant movie”
ComedyDrama
An undertaker gets married to an old executioner's daughter and, although he doesn't like it, must continue the profession of his father-in-law after his retirement.
VIBE
A darkly comedic and melancholic look at a man reluctantly inheriting a grim profession. It's a quirky, character-driven piece about duty, family, and the quiet acceptance of life's absurdities, set against a charming Spanish backdrop.
