Who wants you when you’re dead? What body parts are useful and valuable? Who and how can they help? Exactly how much are our dead bits worth anyway? And, why would we say ‘Yes’ to such a seemingly grotesque concept? Over My Dead Body tries to find answers to the trickiest questions about donation after death. The story is narrated by a fictional cadaver who we follow through the perils of the body's “afterlife”. This timely, stylish and audacious film will make you think long and hard about the curious transactions humans make with each other over recycling the dead.
