A 16-year-old girl arrives at the hospital to identify her mother's body. However, the hospital staff, concerned about her young age, denies her access to the morgue. She faces great obstacles as she tries to navigate the opaque layers of policies and bureaucracy in order to identify the body. She has no uncle, grandfather or father to accompany her or vouch for her.
But after much begging and pleading, the receptionist finally allows her to go back. But when she finally gets a private moment with the body, the young girl has more on her mind than simply saying goodbye, as a whole other layer of action and meaning unfolds.
The short has been nominated for a Palme d’Or at the 70th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
