A filial Grandson tries to bury his Grandfather in the latter's large and ornate coffin but is met with the bureaucracy of standard regulations. Grandfather's huge coffin will not fit into the standard sized public burial plot of the public cemetery. Grandson and the authorities are involved in a tussle to resolve the dilemma. After weaving through stubborn red tape and mechanical bureaucracy, the Grandson is drawn into a disturbing reflection.
