A black comedy from France

From the SIFF guide:

Sick of life as a struggling musician, composer Gabriel decides to get a real job—a decision that is frowned upon by his bohemian sculptor father, played by Gérard Depardieu. With a checkered employment history and no business experience, he runs into a former classmate who offers him a job in the funeral business. Although his new position is in marketing, he’s first sent to train with the bitter Gervais, who had also applied (and been rejected) for Gabriel’s job. The jealous Gervais decides to teach the newcomer a thing or two about the funeral biz, with hilarious results. But even after Gabriel starts to adapt to his new boss and his new job, he still can’t bring himself to tell his new girlfriend, Claire (Berenice Bejo, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies), exactly what it is he does for a living. Michel Delgado’s darkly funny feature debut wrings wry laughs out of the potentially macabre material by showing, in quasi-documentary style, the many behind-the-scenes details needed to sustain the fragile rituals of bereavement.
