Bury Your Dead

Edgar Wilson has an unusual job: he clears roadkill from the highways of rural Brazil, carrying out his work with quiet efficiency and little sentimentality. But when he spots vultures circling deep in the woods, curiosity draws him toward a discovery that will transform an ordinary workday into an unforgettable journey.

As Edgar and a fellow laborer set out to ensure that the dead—human and animal alike—are treated with dignity, they encounter abandoned corpses, disgraced priests, and a criminal network trafficking in body parts. Their bleak odyssey becomes a moving meditation on compassion, friendship, and the quiet acts of decency that can restore humanity in even the darkest circumstances.
