A man like Orozco is truly one of a kind. I hope I am treated with as much respect after death as those he cared for. A small film crew. Orozco, a real man is shown working on his corpses in a tiny and nightmarish one-room workshop with a stained glass window. We just hear him talk: no music or questions. The embalmer describes his routine and sometimes adds a comment about the poor conditions of the neighborhoods around, reflected in his job.
The crew is in complete silence and Orozco seem to be speaking to a corner or just to somebody while he goes on with his task. We can realize that sometimes the old embalmer is answering to a question that has been cut off from the footage. He is aware of the crew, but his tone is not mother-off-fact or aloof; on the contrary: Orozco has a calm, sometimes merciful tone, of a normal man working in conditions unimaginable in most developed areas and complaining about it.
The effect is an experimental documentary-movie edited to be shocking and limited to gore features: no way to show it as mainstream or horror in most countries. Maybe even forbidden in many places. I just watched this movie last night for the first time and wow, what an experience that was. First off, this is a very well done documentary about an embalmer in the poorest parts of Columbia. I learned of this film through the blogs of extreme horror fans but this little gem is on a shelf by itself.
There are no depictions of glorified violence, no stunts, no gimmicks, just matter-of-fact filming of what happens in the poorest neighborhoods after you die. Most people wouldn't be able to handle, let alone like, this film but it is a very real take on life and death. Life is not always a happy ending and we all end up dead one day.
Sometimes it's good to face that to appreciate life just a little more. If you have a good nerve and want to see what happens after you die, check this out. If you have a weak stomach, I'd probably pass this one over.

On another note, I wish the soundtrack wasn't so overly repetitive. They definitely could have changed it up to become more effective and tone appropriate. Ee o zaman bu ne?
