An ambitious black comedy that tells three loosely related stories: a couple of elderly landowners, laid low by economic conditions and reformist politics, are trying to gather enough money to build themselves a marble tomb that would keep their remains in the style to which they still aspire; they give their now blind former housekeeper a pig that proves to be more trouble than it's worth as the effort to fatten it up destroys what little family the woman has; and one of the couple's tenants, who is presenter of a relentlessly optimistic radio self-help show, tries to put his own counsel into effect when he saves a young woman from suicide.

In an abandoned glass factory, a woman exploits her workers, all of them mentally ill. A gang of young assailants decides to rob said factory, but in order to achieve that, they must get one of them into the woman's house first. What they do know is that Maruja, the woman's goddaughter also lives there.

A film in three episodes: "Boarding House", "Chaparro Always Pays" and "Little Saturday".
