Pirandello died and he didn't want two things: neither a funeral or tributes. But it ends up having three funerals. This film tells this story, two decades after Pirandello died, and how the ashes are transferred to his homeland, according to his wishes and the wishes of his family. This transference is marked by several surreal events - some of them based in the work by the artist himself.
