REST IN PEACE
Rest in Peace is all about corpses. About decay and degeneration.
About death as an ecological problem, about the dead as human spare parts.
About the radical, ultimate end - and the question of whether any part of us remains.
Eight episodes take us around the world and provide an insight - sometimes disturbing and sometimes unwittingly amusing - into the everyday lives of those people who spend so much of their time with dead bodies.
Death is the most fundamental issue facing mankind.
And our attitude towards it is both irrational and paradoxical.
