SYNOPSIS
Funeralzzi follows Natasha and Sergei, a Ukrainian couple in Milan who transport deceased Ukrainians back home. As undertakers, they face daily encounters with death, but recent personal losses test their emotional limits. Natasha, one of few women in this field, initially appears invincible. However, the 2022 invasion of Ukraine exposes her vulnerabilities, as she struggles with the destruction of her home and her father's death. Each repatriation mirrors her own grief, challenging her stoic exterior and questioning her sense of purpose. The film explores how those who accompany the dead on their final journey confront their personal losses in a conflict-ridden world.
