Sergio has decided to die. Not out of despair or pain, but simply because he wants it to end, and to turn this final step into a beautiful and serene choice. Between England and Switzerland, he spends his final days planning his death through regular meetings with two men who will hold his fate in their hands: a young necrophiliac and a doctor and euthanasist. But this isn't just about ending so as not to longer be, but rather about turning his death into a project, an action, and thus a future. Continuing his exploration of autobiographical fiction, a genre that has become synonymous with his theatre, French-Uruguayan director Sergio Blanco creates male figures around his alter ego to tackle delicate questions with subtlety and sensitivity. Assisted suicide and necrophilia are two sides of the same desire. But is this only the end of a man, or the end of a world? Bringing together text, music, and video under the aegis of Eros and romanticism, When you walk over my grave plays like a dirge where death is only rivalled by beauty.
