Synopsis

Befriending Death, a short experimental film about life, care and death, is inspired by Claude Raymond’s book, Autrement que comme une grande frayeur. Many things are being said about death, mainly bad things. I don’t think she deserves it. Death teaches us so much about life; she teaches us how to live. In fact, through contemplating death, one highlights the beauty of all things. Befriending Death, a short-length movie about taming death, about a topic still taboo to this day.
