Peppino is a skilled but lonely taxidermist until he crosses paths with waiter Valerio. Peppino is strangely attracted to the charismatic, tall man and offers him a position as his apprentice. But when Valerio meets Deborah, a twisted love triangle evolves that can only spell disaster.
Tinged with carnal desire, unrequited love is a perilous thing in this noirish drama from the prolific Matteo Garrone, director of the Oscar®-nominated Io Capitano. Drawing a macabre link between taxidermy and the underworld of drug trafficking, The Embalmer shows that flesh is the devil indeed.
