Cadáver

An undertaker collects the bodies of people who have drowned trying to reach Spain. Now, an unusual incident is forcing him to face his own mortality.

Martín Zamora’s business has been going well — far too well: he manages a mortuary in the port city of Algeciras, Spain. He identifies the bodies of those who have died trying to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, informs their relatives, and repatriates them to their home countries. By showing how Martin is affected by the daily tragedies in the mass grave that is the Mediterranean, this film denounces the inhumane conditions on Europe’s maritime borders.
