Summaries

A young man attempts to fight the system in an entertaining account of bureaucracy amok and the tyranny of red tape.

A Cuban worker dies accidentally and is buried with his union card. It soon turns out that the widow will absolutely need the card for claiming her pension. Their young nephew starts his hilarious fight against the authorities in order to disinter and rebury his uncle and retrieve the precious document.—Markku Kuoppamäki
