Short synopsis

Gabriel is a lazy, rude gambler on the run from loan sharks. Following the death of his father, he returns to the village of his youth to collect his inheritance. He’s in a rush to get back to the city, but his father’s best friend, Arnold, has other ideas, rallying the eccentric villagers against Gabriel to keep him trapped in the village, opening up some old wounds in the process. 

 

Gabriel is left with no choice but to take on his father’s old job as the village grave-digger, and gradually, through a series of surprising ordeals, he begins to grow as a person and reconnects with his first girlfriend, but his past is catching up with him, and he owes it money...
