Consequence

About This Movie

CONSEQUENCE is this intimate documentary that really gets under your skin. It’s set in a small German crematorium and spans the busy days between Christmas Eve and New Year's. You feel the weight of the world in every scene, with the constant hum of machinery and the quiet reverence of the staff. The pacing is almost meditative, contrasting the festive chaos outside with the somber realities inside. It doesn’t shy away from the emotional toll on the workers, who navigate their own grief while helping others. There's a rawness to the practical effects and atmosphere that’s hard to shake off. It’s not flashy, but there’s a stark beauty to its honesty that’s definitely something to think about.
