La muerte de un burócrata

1966

When a model revolutionary worker is buried with his labor card in his pocket, his widow cannot collect her pension without it — sending her nephew into an increasingly absurd, blackly comic battle with the graveyard and the bureaucracy to dig the card back up. A satirical farce.
