Dying Beyond Their Means

A darkly comic, absurdist satire that weaponizes surreal violence and genre-defying humor to skewer economic collapse and ordinary people's desperate, delusional responses to systemic failure.

Isaki Lacuesta presents a social satire in which five common or garden citizens, from a country pretty much identical to our own, see their lives ripped apart by the economic crisis. With nothing more to lose, they come up with a crazy plan to save the Spanish and world economy: kidnap the chairman of the Central Bank and demand that he return everything to the way it used to be.
