Summary
Inspired by an article entitled "450 dead pets going to Napa Valley," Morris set out to capture the events surrounding the transport of the animal remains from one pet cemetery to another. Persons involved include a handicapped man who conceived the idea of the original pet cemetery, owners whose pets had to be disinterred, and a father and son who took over the business. Morris' first documentary has been called a "hilarious meditation on the American soul, its myths and obsessions about love, life and death." (Circulates)
