“Filming the everyday life of three brothers who are undertakers in a small town in Burgundy, the intimacy of their relationship with the dead, with death. A film which seeks to open up the way to an acceptable image of death, far-removed from the business arguments involved in this occupation, from any kind of voyeurism or rejection; a film which reveals how difficult it is to witness and to show death in its material, everyday form.” (Valérie Denesle, Anne Peyrègne)
