Synopsis by Nathan Southern

In this outrageous Spanish-language farce, the grandmother in a middle-class Argentine family opts to go to a neighbor's house and baby-sit, without telling anyone of her whereabouts. In the mean time, the sons of the family discover the corpse of another elderly woman and mistake the body for that of the matriarch; lo and behold, the grandmother eventually turns up once again and questions the identity of the woman in the casket, scaring everyone half to death.
