2m²

Where to get buried when you have two homelands? Through the wry eye of a Turkish-Belgian funeral director, 2m² wittily chronicles the fine line between bureaucracy, identity, and the desire to return home.

How much land does a man need? For funeral director Tayfun, the answer is 2m², the space of a grave. In this documentary tinged with delicate irony, the dilemma of the final resting place divides families in the Turkish-Belgian community: rest in the adopted soil or return to the land of origin? Between cross-border bureaucracy and daily negotiations, Tayfun handles the absurd with an unflappable smile. The result is a surprising human comedy about the nuances of belonging between two homelands.
