The Embalmer

Directed by Matteo Garrone

Written by Massimo Gaudioso, Massimo Gaudioso, Ugo Chiti, Ugo Chiti, Matteo Garrone

Peppino, a diminutive taxidermist with a reputation for sleaziness, meets Valerio, a handsome if artless much younger man fascinated by the trade. Peppino offers him a large salary to be his assistant—the job burgeoning into a budding friendship he mistakes for something more. When Valerio gets a girlfriend, their fledgling romance will be threatened by an insanely jealous third wheel.
