Cemetery

2017 · 24 min

A wry, low-key scramble through a sleepy town where bureaucratic panic and small-town absurdity make for a gently funny, faintly melancholy watch.

Overview: After a call announcing the visit of a church delegate to San Luis de Frá, a town as ordinary as it is absurd, Jose María Marín, the parish priest in charge, knows that the time has come to be responsible. He and his old sacristan will have to find a corpse and inaugurate the cemetery at any cost.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, melancholic and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Death, faith, deception, class
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
