We Are Gathered Here Today

Synopsis:
Cravis is a man infatuated with death. Indeed he is an expert on it and can answer any questions on any subject related to it. All is clear until he meets a couple who know more. Perhaps because they are dead. A black comedy about life and death and the thin dividing line.
