Extraordinary measures

Synopsis What is after death? Expenses. And this is perfectly known by Toni. His father has just died, but this will not be the only bad news for the family: they have no money to pay for the funeral home. Toni does not know how to explain the situation to his mother, Aurèlia, and, with the complicity of his daughter Emma, will try to carry out the only plan to come: bury his father on his own. Extraordinary measures denounce, with humor and naturalism, how much it is difficult to die. He also talks about dignity. From the legacy that our parents leave us and how we return what they have given us. Of the rituals, of the importance of society and how families cohesive, whatever they are. A reflection from the humor of death, the differences between young and old when facing it and the importance of saying goodbye. Based on the work Instructions to bury a parent.
