Pinuccio Lovero has always dreamed of being an undertaker. He has been finally hired to be the custodian of the cemetery in Mariotto, in Italy’s scorching deep South. But since he has taken on the job no one has died... This frustrated undertaker accompany us on a trip through a place of a choral nature, made of devotion, festivities, tiny streets and dialects. Pinuccio turns out to be the ideal guide: as we discover him as a philosopher of the everyday. His hilarious theories on the meaning of death, love and work strike us as bizarre and understandable at once.
