Jérémie (Félix Kysyl) returns to his home village to attend the funeral of his former employer. The short stay unexpectedly extends, as the boy is drawn into a complex web of relationships in which the dead man's widow, her son and the local parish priest play first fiddle.

Telling a tale of loss and desire, acclaimed French director Alain Guiraudie (known for „Stranger by the Lake,” among others) creates a unique combination of detective story and pitch-black comedy that will appeal to all lovers of French cinema. After its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, „Misericordia” received eight César nominations and almost nothing but positive reviews (95% on Rotten Tomatoes), and was hailed by „Cahiers du Cinéma” as the best film of 2024.
