Synopsis

After Sybil (Rebecca Calder) secures a job at the funeral home of Mr Thomas (James Fleet), her mind quickly turns to fantasy. From a romantic entanglement with museum curator Mark (Jay Taylor), to attacking the corpse of an adulterer, her imagination runs rampant in her lonely role as an undertaker.
