Two men dig and talk. Different people appear – from where exactly? from the world we imagine exists outside the cemetery? from the images that the Gravediggers’ conversation evokes? – bringing different perspectives, experiences and languages. Little by little, we realize that they come from different times. Are they ghosts? Ghosts of flesh and blood? Death, we know, is the great leveler. Could it also reveal what is unique and special about each person?
