Seemannsbegräbnis(1995)

Seemannsbegräbnis is a German drama following two homeless men, Gas and Sebastian, who discover a dead infant while scavenging through garbage bins after Christmas. Moved by the tragedy, they decide to leave the city and give the child a proper burial in the countryside. What begins as an act of compassion becomes a journey that forces both men to confront their own humanity and mortality. The film explores themes of dignity, loss, and unexpected grace among society's most marginalized. Shot with unflinching realism, Seemannsbegräbnis treats its subjects with rare empathy, transforming a grim premise into a meditation on how even the most broken lives can find meaning through small acts of kindness.
