In the end, our bodies are as fragile and ephemeral as paintings made of sand. Who will care for them when our time is over? In Jewish tradition, a group of volunteers known as the Chevra Kadisha—the Sacred Society—performs the final act of kindness: washing, preparing, and dressing the dead for burial. THE SACRED SOCIETY is a lyrical documentary that follows the men who choose this profound work—why they do it, how it transforms them, and what it teaches us about life and death. Blending intimate interviews with haunting, fluid sand animation, the film reveals how sacred ritual gives meaning to our fleeting existence.
