Carols (17,30΄), Jenny Tsiropoulou, Greece

 

Nikos does not get to experience human contact, nor the joy of saving lives. He studied medicine but went on to become a forensic medical examiner. 

The cadavers he examines whisper their stories. As he grows older and his kids grow up, his fear of death weighs heavier. 

It’s a rainy New Year’s Eve, and the morgue is full. Nikos is hopeful. Will the children stop by to sing carols and loosen death’s grip?
