Και Οι Νεκροί Ας Θάψουν Τους Νεκρούς Τους

In the early 1950s, in a village in the Cretan countryside, a young boy discovers at a relative’s funeral that he has the ability to hear the thoughts of the dead. At first, no one believes him. But when he publicly proves that his claims are true, an uncle, recognizing the opportunities for profit that this gift presents, persuades him to leave the village and travel through the rural communities of the plain, offering their services as “interpreters of the dead.”

From village to village and from funeral to funeral, each deceased person tells their own story, reveals their secrets, and offers their own answers to the mystery of existence. There is only one problem: the dead always tell the truth, and the living do not want to hear the truth.
