Let the bones rattle! Skeletons of different characters and social backgrounds parade through the audience on foot, by bicycle, with a coffin on their shoulders, accompanied by a band of musicians, themselves also made up of bone men. They meet, quarrel, make love, get into arguments with the audience and with each other: men and women, rich and poor, old and young. The scene ends in an imaginary cemetery, where the musicians play for their last farewell.
