A previously estranged father and son come together at the family home to care for their father and grandfather, placing his body in a casket and driving his body to the crematory - that's a sacred moment. A distraught mother, racked in grief the day of her son's death, is transformed and emotionally at peace by the third day. In the living room, kneeling down next to her son's casket she wraps rosary beads in between his fingers - that's a sacred moment. A man experiences the reflections of his partner's life presented in photos, music and words as friends gather celebrating his life - that's a sacred moment. A family creates a final graveside ritual by releasing a thousand brilliantly colored paper cranes over a casket that is being lowered slowly into the ground, blanketing it in the colors of her life - that's a sacred moment. |
