At Christine’s funeral, her husband Bass (Peter Van den Begin) and their family are stunned to learn that her final wish was to be buried in a distant and unfamiliar place called Wettelen. Despite their initial confusion, they decide to honour Christine’s request by embarking on a walking journey to the burial site. This peculiar pilgrimage turns into a comedic exploration of family dynamics, friendships, and past grievances. As they make their way through the countryside, they confront their own relationships and uncover hidden truths, turning a sombre occasion into a memorable grotesquely surreal adventure.
