“An original and brilliant movie”

José Luis Rodríguez (Nino Manfredi) is an undertaker who wants a quiet life and a flat of his own. He marries Carmen (Emma Penella), the daughter of Amadeo (José Isbert), the old executioner, and then finds that the marriage comes with the retiring father-in-law's job. Berlanga films it in black and white, with Carmen beside José Luis through every hesitation.
