Sobre IBD

In French cemeteries, 'perpetuité' only lasts for a hundred years. If the deceased’s family wants to keep their dead buried, they must pay the rent. If not, the municipality will excavate the tomb to liberate the space for a new family. After the latest excavation, Robert and Clothilde find themselves faced with a ghost much older than themselves - along with the daunting task of solving a century-old mystery.Is it still possible to find eternal rest for their new friend?
