With the Heart in the Grave - In the shadow of death, they uncover the truth of life
During the COVID-19 pandemic, society paused to honor its healthcare workers—but in the graveyards of São Paulo’s countryside, another group bore the burden in silence.
This insightful doc follows the lives of gravediggers, men responsible for the final act in countless human stories. Often overlooked and stigmatized, they reveal the emotional toll of their work, the resilience it demands, and the wisdom gained from standing daily at the edge of mortality. The film reminds us that dignity exists even in the quietest corners of crisis.
