IN THIS SEPULCHER, WE ARE FED

2M, 2F (or 1F, 1NB)

In 1790s Versailles, Sacha is the servant to a demanding Lord. When his sister and fellow servant, Flavie, swears there is a mysterious disease spreading through the estate, she begs Sacha to flee with her to Spain.

But as things grow stranger and more complicated between Sacha and his Lord, he must decide whether it's worth it to risk the unknown, or to labor in familiar comfort.

Sepulcher draws inspiration from Shakespeare and Moliere, while asking questions about desire, capitalism, and what we owe our family.
