Synopsis:

In a cemetery at night, the dead come out of their graves to walk about and chat, lively and good humoured and also impatient, because the memory of their families keep them alive, while they only desire to be left in peace and thus free for always.
They are a mixed bunch, all with their own different stories, overseen by Domenico, the undertaker, who also ends up dead following a banal accident.
And so at dawn, the cemetery gates remain closed to the parents, widows and children trying to visit their dearly departed.
