In a small town, a middle/lower class employee dies suddenly, after a large lunch. His wife is not present and for her the feeling of loss is added to that of guilt because she was away from home at the fateful moment.

 The news spreads, she decides that her husband will be buried in the couple's bed, and it's not long before she starts receiving visits from friends, neighbors and relatives. In a whirlwind of feelings and given the entire situation, she can only remember the bad episodes she went through with her husband. It is then that, without any ceremony, he becomes a spectator at his own wake! Once alone, he goes from spectator to intervener and without delay decides to question his own wife.

They argue. They play. They put all disagreements, grudges and betrayals on a clean sheet. Misunderstandings are eventually resolved. The betrayals forgiven and above all, the vows of love renewed. After a night of comedy and romance, when she opens the bedroom door, she can bury her husband in peace!
