At the margins of a city somewhere in the south of Europe, a young couple starts their day with the same routine: collecting deceased pets from their owners in order to cremate them and return their ashes.

This paid job aside, the couple also collects and cremates roadkill found as they drive around in their car, which also doubles as their home. In this endless life cycle, human beings and animals coexist harmoniously, until the couple is responsible for a roadkill incident themselves.

Set against a stunning and desolate landscape with an eerie sensuality, KALA AZAR ponders that fine line between life and death, and where we fall within it, shot in a way that aims to maintain a universal and timeless approach.
