The second of three films made in Cuba since the revolution
Starring Salvador Wood, Silvia Planas, Manuel Estanillo

The widow of a factory worker who is buried with his union card fights a desperate bureaucratic battle to get her husband's body exhumed so that she can prove she's eligible for a pension.
'The best black comedy I have watched for years' was Dilys Powell's verdict on this delightful film by the director of Memories of Underdevelopment.
