Famadihana (Second Burial): Surviving Guilt and Grief

Famadihana (Second Burial): Surviving Guilt and Grief (2014)

We can doubt on many things except death but we don't know when and how. Sometimes, death puts us in an unexpected journey. Death tears the family apart. The survivors develop a feeling of guilt for not having saved the life of the deceased loved one. Where and how will they find healing for their wounds? The filmmaker brings a rich context to this long standing tradition by tracing one family's journey through grief, guilt and redemption embedded in the process of famadihana (reburial). It is a journey of repair and reconciliation in terms of 'seeing again' and 'touching again'. Famadihana is a rite of opening the family crypts, re-wrapping the bones and transferring into a different tomb or returning it into the same tomb.
