French Original Version

> Synopsis :

« Travaille avec elle » shows the gravediggers’ job who are the last guides after death, as a lot of others accompanying during the life.

These specialized workers in a specialized domain that most of the people consider as disgusting and distressing, well know the people’s eyes, but are also proud to make the job the others absolutely don’t wanna do ; A job during which you’ve got to dig, to bury, to exhume, to handle some putrid flesh, bones or any other left-overs.

These men are non really talkative, are chaste and respectful of the common sensibility and the culture of death. A manual job with a holy background, lived in the shade of the cemeteries, at the bottom of the pits, into the belly of the crypts and burial chambers.
