SYNOPSIS

Alberto, Paolo, Nico and Lisa live in an indefinite but near future, in which immortality is an asset that the wealthier classes of society can buy. Alberto, the head of the family, involves his brother-in-law, Paolo, and his children in a very particular activity: the organization of fake funerals. At a time when time is no longer a measure of existence, the most influential part of the population has lost the feeling of death and, therefore, the meaning of life. The ritual takes place according to codified gestures, actions, customs and choreography, which the immortals imitate under the guidance of Alberto and Paolo. The story of the family is increasingly intertwined during the staging, until the show is interrupted by an unexpected event.
