When Jérémie learns that his old boss has passed away, he returns to his hometown to pay his respects. Staying long after the funeral, the seemingly benign Jérémie begins to casually insinuate himself into his mentor’s family, including his kindhearted widow and venomously angry son, while making an increasingly surprising and ultimately beneficial friendship with an oddly cheerful local priest. Misericordia bubbles with absurdism as it lays out a curious mystery – one that pulls you in not because it withholds the truth from you, but because it asks the why of how humans operate and of our many quiet vulnerabilities. A sharp, sinister, yet slyly funny thriller!
