La Muerte de un Burócrata plot

"It is easier to kill a bureaucrat than to kill bureaucracy."

An exemplary worker dies on the job and is buried with his union passport as a posthumous honour. When his widow starts a procedure to get a pension, she is informed that she needs the union passport to start the procedure. To get a duplicate it is necessary to dig up her husband again, which is legally allowed only 2 years after the death. The widow's cousin tries to solve the problem. He makes an appointment with a group of gravediggers to secretly dig up the passport. Then it turns out that the tomb is empty...
