L'Incinérateur de cadavres

Karl Kopfrkingl works in a crematorium in Prague. A devoted husband and loving father, he is passionate about his work and believes in liberating the souls of the deceased as advocated in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. As Nazi forces gather at the Czech border, his old friend Reineke convinces him of the supremacy of German blood… Will Karl's good manners and healthy abstinence be enough to conceal his emerging psychopathy?
 
A meticulously crafted macabre tale straight out of a Kafkaesque universe, with a patina as suave and gentle as it is stark and chilling.
