This sensitive story about ingrained traditions and grief delicately follows a young woman, Anna, who wants to say goodbye to her mother by dressing the body for the funeral. This act is not allowed according to the rules of the funeral home – it is medically inadvisable due to the condition of the body. The story will end on a note where – whatever you call it - bureaucracy, different worldviews or social norms, is overcome by empathy between strangers in a complex situation.
