The film had been widely predicted to feature in the Official Competition at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival but was instead placed in the Cannes Première sidebar

Plot

Returning to Saint-Martial for his late boss's funeral, Jérémie's stay with widow Martine becomes entangled in a disappearance, a threatening neighbor, and an abbot's shady intentions..

With very mild humor peppered across the film, it narrates the story of a taciturn man who visits a village to attend a mentor's funeral

Misericordia takes its time to shoot and when it starts shooting, there is no way you can contain your laughter till it crescendoes in the final shot.

What I love about Misericordia is how suddenly it shifts its writing to make the viewer laugh, all in a deadpan style

There he meets his mentor's wife, his son, and a priest - who all seem to be saying something else from what they have in mind.

Reminded me of Deerskin (2019) and The Bra (2018)(Watched at the 2024 MAMI Mumbai Film Festival)
