Martin, an aging man, is abandoned in a psychiatric hospital, where a pharmaceutical business is conducting illegal drug tests. His granddaughter, Ana, discovers that her own father is directly involved and takes action into her own hands. As Ana and Martin run away to grant him his last wish, they must fight for their own survival against the vicious interests of the powerful company. Based on a true story.
八十年代的恐怖电影《处刑在午夜》（10 to Midnight）中，外表不佳却颇具性格气概的老电影人查尔斯·布朗森在片中饰演一个警探，逮捕到一位专门辣手摧花的杀人犯，苦于没有证据，老查不得已设法编造证据，想送他进大牢，不料被穿帮，凶手放出来后，决定对老查的女儿下手以实行报复。为什么老查根本找不到凶手的罪证呢，原来凶手每次行凶前必把自己的衣服脱光，你想找到任何沾有血迹的衣服、裤子、鞋子，都难如登天。于是，反一号男主角吉恩·戴维斯在片中有一半的戏份都要光着身子。《处刑在午夜》在裸露尺度的把握上，真正做到了“男女平等”，你脱我也脱，像吉恩·戴维斯这种可以走偶像路线的男星，接拍《处刑在午夜》实在得不偿失，别说必须时不时的衣不蔽体，角色形象也负面到极点，从片子的票房来看，他也真是白忙了一场。可能从一开始，吸引他的只是赫赫有名的曾导过黑白原版《恐怖角》（Cape Fear）与《纳瓦隆大炮》（The Guns of Navarone）的大导演J·李·汤普森吧，可惜人有失手马有失蹄，这一回他可是脱得很没价值呐！
The elderly caretaker of a remote morgue possesses an impeccable memory for everything but names. He passes his days showing corpses to those searching for their lost ones and tending to his beloved plants. When protest in a nearby city breaks out and the militia covertly raid the morgue to hide civilian casualties, he discovers the body of an unknown young woman. Evoking memories of personal loss, he embarks on a magical odyssey to give her a proper burial with the help of a mystic gravedigger who collects stories of the dead, an old woman searching for her long-lost daughter, and a hearse driver tormented by his past.
