Rest in Peace is all about corpses. About decay and degeneration. About death as an ecological problem, about the dead as human spare parts. About the radical, ultimate end - and the question of whether any part of us remains.

Main character of this movie is Rene Rupnik, a former math teacher. He is forty years old and lives together with his mother in a desolate block of flats. Ever since his early youth women with big breasts have fascinated him, because they symbolise a kind of earth mother to him. He has never had an especially close relationship with his own mother; she was too 'bony' for him. Object of Rene's fantasy is the actress Senta Berger, to him everything a woman should be. Standing by the blackboard and explaining the mathematical laws of sine and cosine ('sinus' is bosom in Latin), Rene sings the praises of the female curves and those of Santa Berger in particular. Filmmaker Ulrich Seidl let the former teacher speak freely about his obsessions and desires, intercutting his monologues with scenes from the protagonist's day-to-day life.

This documentary takes a look behind the picture-book facade of the mountain scenery around the alpine village of Heiligenblut, showing the encounter between the tourists and the people who keep the place going underneath all the holiday euphoria.

The heart is still beating; the eyes can see, the ears can hear. Nights of the full moon, horror stories, disquiet. The spirits from the past are returning. Death is implicated... and grief.

The old story with a slight twist: girl meets boy, frozen in stylized monologues, in whirring synthesizers, with the ghostly original sounds and excruciatingly slow camera movements.
