Nora's Will - Cinco dias sin Nora (1:32) 2009

Jose is long divorced and living across the street from his ex-wife, Nora. He has the key to the apartment and lets himself in to deliver meat packages. He finds that Nora has made coffee and set the table for Passover dinner. He also discovers that she dead in bed after taking an overdose of medication. He calls their Reuben who is away on vacation. The Rabbi arrives shortly to begin making the arrangements for burial. This becomes complicated because if Nora isn't buried with 24 hours, the funeral will have to take place after Passover and the Sabbath. Family, friends, the doctor, the housemaid arrive and Jose has his hands full.  When the Rabbi learns that Nora committed suicide, burial in the cemetery is prohibited. Jose has made arrangements with a Catholic cemetery but Reuben objects. This is a very subdued story of a family coming together, accepting what has happened, and working out their differences.  This is a movie filmed in Mexico with English subtitles. It is definitely worth the price of a rental.
