This is a story about an undertaker and his apprentice.
No not this one...
So an Undertaker and his new female apprentice.
a story about their lives, their purpose, the philosophy they choose to conduct their business with as undertakers, Handling the dead loved ones of people from so many religions or non religions, your job is taking care of the dead, and to console the living, agreeing with whatever they believe in, no one wants to hear there is no heaven or hell when their relative just died, and no one wants to hear your religion is the wrong one either, so you are consoling all leaving your beliefs and faith out of the picture.
The ending was underwhelming if we had a stronger ending i would have given it five stars, but after getting stuck in a dark place avoiding the rain, they find the coffin empty and scratch marks on the side like something was trying to get out, you connect the dots.
