A darkly comic Spanish drama that mines absurdist humor from the collision between an undertaker's mundane life and the grim legacy of capital punishment he's forced to inherit through marriage.
An undertaker gets married to an old executioner's daughter and, although he doesn't like it, must continue the profession of his father-in-law after his retirement.
