The Returned

The Returned

Why have the dead suddenly returned...

2004102 min5.5 / 10

A contemplative, melancholic exploration of displacement and belonging that uses the return of the dead as a lens for examining grief, social integration, and the impossibility of reclaiming the past.

The lives of the residents of a small French town are changed when thousands of the recently dead inexplicably come back to life and try to integrate themselves into society that has changed for them.
