A haunting, globe-spanning exploration of death rituals in six countries—South Korea, Thailand, Mexico, Belgium, the USA, and Nepal—this unflinching ethnographic documentary presents funeral rites in vivid, sometimes brutal detail. Captured over two years, its respectful yet clinical gaze reveals how humanity confronts, resists, and finds meaning in mortality.
