Synopsis

The Mortician is a contemporary urban noir shot in digital 3D. The story of a man coming in from the cold, stepping from darkness to light. A man returning to the human race. A tale of revenge and retribution that is both soulful and brutal.

The banking system is failing, and the city is bankrupt. The poor are corralled into lawless ghettos. The crime rate soars, but as long as the violence doesn't spill into their fancy backyards, the politicians don't care.

In the decaying city, he processes corpses with a steely disregard. His work is conducted with a ritualistic eye for detail and an unyielding adherence to routine. The Mortician (Method Man) is alienated and cold. Emotionally isolated and lonely, his work is his purpose, his fascination with taxidermy his only distraction. An insomniac, he walks the deserted ghetto streets at night, watching the creatures of the night go about their business.

The Mortician is a contemporary urban fairytale, one that triumphs kindness over cruelty. A story of reconciliation and hope in face of violence and darkness.
