Following Welsh folklore, he performs a ritual that helps the dead release their obligations to this world. He bakes a loaf of bread and places it on the body of his dead beloved. In that half-space between the Living and the Dead, her sins are absorbed into the bread. "In the House of the Sin Eater" creates a strangely moving world from miniature sets and hand-operated marionettes. In this tiny dreamscape, a recent widower must carry his wife's sins to the Sin Eater's house deep inside a forbidding forest. Feared and reviled by the townspeople, the Sin Eater performs his duties without complaint. And in an act of acceptance and transformation, we discover that the Sin Eater is less to be feared than treasured. See less
