El Sisè Cicle is an intimate portrait of a father and son who continue, across six generations, their family’s tradition of working as gravediggers in the coastal community of El Masnou, Catalonia.

Through their daily work, the film looks at a profession that remains largely invisible despite its essential place in society. Moving between the cemetery, family life and the rituals surrounding death, the film observes the relationship between generations and the quiet knowledge passed from one to the next.

Rather than treating death as something distant, El Sisè Cicle approaches it through the ordinary gestures of those who live alongside it every day.
