A philosophical, deeply unsettling meditation on love, death, and transcendence told through the intimate perspective of a woman whose romantic ideals lead her toward necrophilia.

Over the years, a child's romantic ideals about death blossom into necrophilia, the study of embalming and the most profound relationship of her life.
