7 Words About Passing Away

Poland2022documentary9'Konkurs polski (2022)

Juxtaposing sophisticated shots of cemeteries with statements by children and adults about death, the filmmakers are trying to take a peek behind the curtain hiding answers to ultimate questions. How does our perspective on passing change with age? Who is closer to the truth about the end of life: cold faces from tombstones or eyes and hands of the living sharing their reflections and fears with us? Will the eponymous seven words bring us closer to the truth?
