Alps

Death is not the end, if you choose to pretend. A crackpot gang comprised of two hospital employees, a gymnast, and her sadistic coach assist  — for a fee —  the bereaved by assuming the peculiarities, habits, and hobbies of the dead to help them move on. But pantomime is a poor substitute for grief and when nurse Monte Rosa (DOGTOOTH star Aggeliki Papoulia) begins to long for the real thing, her co-stars in  mortality find themselves at odds with life itself in this deadpan, hallucinatory observation of deviant behavior from Yorgos Lanthimos.

In Greek with English subtitles.
