Sonya leads a lonely, predictable existence tending to her ailing father and their mortuary business. Her life seems relentlessly dull until one day a woman’s body is delivered, and her perspective begins to change. When no one appears to claim the body, Sonya becomes sympathetically attached to the lost corpse, and an unusual bond begins to form between the physically dead and emotionally dying. This is the third film from acclaimed Director Dwein Baltazar and a beautifully tender one at that.
