Realising that she is a necrophiliac at an early age, a teenager takes a job at a local mortuary and satisfies herself with the corpses, but things get complicated when a young man (who is alive) romances her in this unusual Canadian drama. While the way she pleasures herself with the cadavers feels very mild (especially compared to something like 'Nekromantik'), there much to like in how sympathetic a perspective the film manages to offer on a person with unusual deep desires, with some philosophical voice-over narration at the start of the film helping in particular to get under her skin. The way the narration keeps surfacing every now and again during the remainder of the film is at times a little jarring, but again it really helps one get inside the girl's mindset and Molly Parker is fantastic in the role. Peter Outerbridge is less impressive as her needy boyfriend. He has an unforgettable final scene that truly captures his devotion to her and extreme desire to understand her, however, at times he only seems to exist in the narrative as an outlet (i.e. someone to whom Parker can confess everything that she does). More scenes dedicated to Parker's childhood may have helped us understand her more too, but clocking in at a very economical 78 minutes as it though, the film certainly never outstays its welcome - which is quite important here given the social taboo subject matter.
