synopsis

At Christine's funeral, a notary suddenly appears with a letter stating that Christine wanted to be buried in Wettelen, which is not near by. Her bewildered husband and children decide to respect this inexplicable last wish, and to do so according to tradition, walking behind the hearse. By the time Christine’s final resting place is reached, all family ties have been shaken up.
Waarom Wettelen vertelt het verhaal van een bonte groep familieleden en vrienden – stappende achter een lijkwagen – op weg naar de laatste rustplaats van de net overleden moeder, Christine. Tijdens wat een woelige rouwmars belooft te worden, die bovendien enkele dagen zal duren, hebben de nabestaanden de tijd om elkaar eindelijk beter te leren kennen en enkele oude familiegeheimen te ontrafelen. Wanneer de moeder wordt begraven, blijken alle familiebanden stevig door elkaar geschud.
