How to live with death?
How to approach it? How to film it?
Death is often perceived as an intangible anguish.
A fear which perhaps can only be answered in life.
Patrice, a young undertaker about to become a father, invites us to follow him…

“Nothing is stranger or darker than the fatal blow which strikes each one of us. Admittedly, life itself is not perfect: whatever it is, it is our residence, it is in it that we are present, and it is possible to improve it. On the other hand, nobody has ever been seen present in death, if it is not in the form of corpse. ” [ Ernst BLOCH ]
