Surprising romance in usually unwelcoming location, populated with friendly people after midnight, tasking our main protagonist with unusual assignments

Saw this at the Imagine film festival 2023 in Amsterdam, at the final "best of..." day, denoting that it was well received by most festival goers. Interesting romance in very unusual (that is: for a Romance) location. For a Horror, a location like this is not uncommon, yet there is a considerable difference with a "normal" morgue. In short: this movie is different in duplicate, and a pleasant surprise as well, notwithstanding the morbid location where most actions will take place.

This usually unwelcoming location is absolutely not scary, especially after midnight, and populated with very friendly people. Yet, it is not completely devoid of fear, however, as there is one scary person, dressed in dark red and wearing welding glasses, becoming more important and fiercer as the story progresses.

The story develops along very unexpected lines, bringing original turns of events, keeping our attention from start to finish. Movie is not labelled as Horror, remarkable given the morgue as main location, instead correctly marked as Fantasy and Romance. An unusual combination of love, death and humor.
