A darkly comic meditation on grief and mortality that pairs a grieving Hasidic cantor with a biology professor in an increasingly surreal exploration of death, decay, and the search for meaning.

Shmuel, a Hasidic cantor in Upstate New York and distraught at the untimely death of his wife, struggles to find religious solace, while secretly obsessing over how her body will decay. As a clandestine partnership develops with Albert, a local community college biology professor, the two embark on a darkly comic and increasingly literal undertaking into the underworld.
