Mortality Movies: My Mexican Shivah on setting up the house of mourning

Mortality Movies is a 30-minute program with a panel of experts discussing topics such as funerals, grief, and related end-of-life topics. During each episode, several film clips are shown related to that episode’s topic. The expert panel discusses the film clips and share information that can help audiences understand end-of-life issues and plan for our 100% guaranteed mortality. Host @GailRubinleads the discussions.

This clip comes from the 2007 Mexican comedy film, My Mexican Shivah. In this scene, the chevreman works with the two household staffers to rearrange the apartment to prepare for the seven days of mourning. He tells them the rules of behavior for the family during shivah.

This clip will be discussed in an upcoming Mortality Movies episode on Jewish funeral, burial and mourning traditions. To learn more about Jewish funeral traditions, watch this talk by Gail Rubin: https://youtu.be/E-UOilfKvKc.
