Na Kristininoj sahrani, njen muž Bas i njihova porodica su zatečeni kada saznaju da je njena poslednja želja da bude sahranjena na udaljenom i nepoznatom mestu zvanom Wettelen. Uprkos početnoj zbunjenosti, odlučuju da poštuju Kristinine poslednje želje i kreću na pešačko putovanje do nepoznatog mesta sahrane.
Ovo neobično hodočašće pretvara se u komičnu istraživačku priču o porodičnoj dinamici, prijateljstvima i starim nesuglasicama. Dok prolaze kroz seoske predele, suočavaju se sa sopstvenim odnosima i otkrivaju skrivene istine, pretvarajući ovu sumornu priliku u nezaboravnu grotesknu i nadrealnu avanturu.
Nakon što je ranije pomagao u adaptaciji svojih romana za veliki ekran — što ga je dovelo do Kana sa filmom The Misfortunates — priznat belgijski pisac Dimitri Verhulst sada pravi svoj rediteljski debi, pritom ne gubeći nijedan mrvicu svog karakterističnog humora.
At Christines funeral, her husband Bass and their family are stunned to learn that her last will is to be buried in a distant and unknown place called Wettelen. Despite their initial confusion, they decide to honour Christine´s last wish by embarking on a walking journey to the unknown burial site.
This peculiar pilgrimage turns into a comedic exploration of family dynamics, friendships and past grievances. As they make their way through the countrysides, they confront their own relationships and uncover hidden truths, turning a sombre occasion into a memorable grotesquely and surreal adventure.
After previously helping to adapt his own novels for the big screen - leading him to Cannes for The Misfortunates, acclaimed Belgian author Dimitri Verhulst now makes his debut as a director, not losing a single touch of his characteristic humour in the process.
