Author's Notes:

Rituals offer compelling dramatic action. I think of a cemetery as a space that involves rituals not always clearly defined by society because they are less public in nature. A cemetery, or more euphemistically, a 'memorial park,' is a place that evokes dread and comfort, fear and tranquility. The ritual of placing flowers at a gravesite is simultaneously symbolic and therapeutic. It is abstract in that the offering of flowers represents devotion, yet it is concrete in its ability to allow the mourner to accept and live with grief. For many still living, cemeteries are necessary spaces.

Synopsis

Etched in Stone follows an elderly couple, Fanny and Peter, who meet as they have their own separate picnics at their future grave sites. It turns out that their spouses are buried there, and one day they will be side by side for all eternity. As they get to know each other, despite a rough start, they relive the times that they each first visited the sites with their spouses.
