An undertaker collects the bodies of people who have drowned trying to reach Spain, then repatriates them to their home countries. Now, an unusual incident is forcing him to face his own mortality.

Martín Zamora identifies the bodies of those who have died trying to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, and repatriates them to their home countries. By showing how he is affected by the daily tragedies in the mass grave that is the Mediterranean, this film denounces the inhumane conditions on Europe’s maritime borders.
