CROQUE MORT AU FEMININ (VF, w/Engl ST, 52') A film by Marc Wolfensberger, with the collaboration of Marcel Schüpbach SYNOPSIS (FR) Have you ever wondered who will take care of your body after your death? A man? A woman? Maybe you don't care... Fine. In any case, until now, you didn't really have a choice in the almost exclusively male world of funeral directors. In recent years, things have changed. Radically, even. For any new position in the competition, more than a third of candidates are now women. And this year, for the "federal certificate of funeral director", there was even parity. A first. So what does this change for the average deceased? What do these female undertakers bring that is more, or "different" in their practice? What is certain is that they have the firm intention of dusting off a traditionally opaque profession, with no required training or safeguards. Exit the model of the sinister undertaker from Lucky Luke?
