Alleingang

Documentary film | 15 min | 2021

Every year, five to ten percent of all deceased Berliners are buried by the authorities.
Most of them are laid to rest by urn companion Bernd Simon, all on his own. But
sometimes companions do turn up to say goodbye in their own special way.in their very
own way. An observational documentary about an undertaker who originally wanted
to become an entertainer, a quirky city portrait, and a reflection of our approach to
death, mourning, and remembrance.
