The film *Alps* (2011), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is a psychological drama about a group of individuals—a nurse, a paramedic, a gymnast, and her coach—who form a service for hire. They step in to impersonate the deceased, providing comfort to grieving families by filling in the roles of the dead. This unconventional service is run by a group called "Alps," with the leader, a paramedic, going by the name Mont Blanc. The story examines themes of loss, identity, and the complexities of filling someone else's place in the world.
