A documentary about five gravediggers' stories, and at the same time it goes through the different areas of the Montevideo North Cemetery. It's a view over lives' stories, aspirations, frustrations and feelings of those who do that as ungraceful as necessary duty, those who at the same time live and make their livings with death.

When perpetually single, aging music industry exec Harry Sanborn, and his latest trophy girlfriend, Marin, arrive at her mother's beach house in the Hamptons, they find that her mother, playwright Erica Barry, also plans to stay for the weekend. Erica is scandalized by the relationship and Harry's sexist ways. But when Harry has a heart attack while there, and the doctor prescribes bedrest, his only option is to stay at the Barry home. Left in the care of Erica and his doctor, a love triangle starts to take shape.
