The Gravedigger's Wife is a drama film, directed by Khadar Ayderus Ahmed and released in 2021.[1] The film is a coproduction of companies from France, Somalia, Germany and Finland.[2]

Ahmed's feature debut, the film was inspired by a death in his own family approximately a decade earlier.[3] It was shot in 2019, although release was delayed until 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its disruptions of film distribution in 2020.[3]

The film premiered in the Critics' Week program at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.[1] It was subsequently screened at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was one of the winners of the Amplify Voices Award.[4] It was selected as the Somali entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards, the first time that Somalia had submitted a film.[5]

Plot

Guled (Omar Abdi), a gravedigger in Djibouti, is struggling to raise money to pay for surgery when his wife Nasra (Yasmin Warsame) becomes gravely ill with kidney disease.[2]
