Verhaal

Caring for dead bodies is the sign of our emergence from the order of nature into culture. And when we look into our society, all religions and faiths have different types of cremation and funeral processes. But do we show the same dignity towards orphan corpses? In this documentary, we introduce Vinu, a corpse taker from Aluva, Kerala who helps the state machinery for the burial of such orphan corpses. Through him we see the challenges and the conditions of our public cemetery.
