Der Tod ist ein Arschloch

In their documentary, Michael Schwarz and Alexander Griesser follow a Berlin funeral home as it deals with death on a daily basis.

A funeral home and its team aim to radically change the taboo-ridden way we deal with death and grief. Former music manager Eric Wrede belongs to a new generation of funeral directors who are committed to treating the deceased with respect and their loved ones with empathy, thereby paving the way for new approaches to the grieving process. But how do these modern funeral professionals cope when they are suddenly personally and emotionally affected by cases? A touching, warm-hearted portrait of wonderful people and a magnificent ode to the celebration of life, which does not end with death.
