Lacrimosa

Funeral ceremonies in the attic of a spooky villa. The elderly aunt gathers her great-grandnieces around a child's coffin for a funeral prayer. Folded hands, furtive glances, a rosary and a body chair are the ingredients of an eccentric children's game in which the illustrious group stumbles between intimidation, rebellion and a dangerous staircase over questions of existence.
