Seven Dumpsters and a Corpse...

A Film by Thomas Haemmerli, 2007

After their mother’s death, two Swiss brothers, upon entering her apartment, found out  she had become a hoarder. They documented the process of excavating a lifetime of stuff after a family member dies:

"Amidst the chaos of their dead mother’s apartment, two brothers irreverently piece together their family history. It’s a strange but unique saga involving baronesses and counts; stolen lovers and Nazi officers; lawsuits and counter lawsuits and lots and lots of cats. Compelling and darkly hilarious.”

Full documentary here, Seven Dumpsters and a Corpse

This one is dedicated to El Sloganero and my brother.
