A traditional funeral cantor imagines his own funeral. "Who is going to cry for me, always crying for the others?". A grotesque comedy that reveals the ignorance and the superstition behind the event of the death, and the untruth and meannes behind the scenes of a funeral. Great irony but at the meantime an acute reflection about life and death. "Life is worth nothing and nothing is worth of the life…"

Un cantore tradizionale di riti funebri immagina il giorno del suo funerale. "Chi piangerà me, che piango per gli altri?". Commedia grottesca che svela l'ignoranza e la superstizione che circondano l'avvento della morte e i retroscena falsi e meschini dei funerali. Grande ironia e al tempo stesso acuta riflessione sulla vita e la morte. "La vita non vale niente e niente vale la vita…"
