Funerarias S.A. (2002)
Comedia de humor negro ambientada en un pueblo galés. Cuando era un tímido joven, Boris Plotz (Alfred Molina) soñaba con el baile y con Betty (Brenda Blethyn). Betty también lo amaba, pero, incapaz de contradecir los deseos de sus padres, se casó con el cazafortunas Hugh Rhys Jones (Robert Pugh). Boris se hizo cargo entonces del negocio familiar de pompas fúnebres. Desde entonces el tedio y la rutina presidió la vida de ambos. Pero, cuando se reunieron para organizar el funeral de la suegra de ella, se reavivó la pasión de su juventud. Mientras tanto, la ceremonia fúnebre despierta los celos del director de la funeraria rival (Christopher Walken), un excéntrico americano, decidido a revolucionar el negocio con la novedad de los funerales "temáticos".
