Guelwaar

“A work of wry sophistication” (Janet Maslin, New York Times), Guelwaar has the makings of a political farce in the spirit of Tomás Gutiérrez Alea’s Death of a Bureaucrat. The body of a murdered political activist suddenly goes missing from the morgue. The police discover that his corpse has accidentally been carried to a neighboring village and given a Muslim burial (the dead man was Catholic). The attempts of his family to retrieve the body nearly escalate into a holy war.
