"We are both in mourning. We decided to film three brothers, funeral directors, for whom death is part of everyday life."

In the intimacy of a small family-run funeral home in Burgundy, filmed twenty years apart. Part chronicle of daily life, part observation of funeral rites, this documentary tells the story of the passing on of a vocation and the evolution of our relationship with death.
