The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Finding that a French Challenge was running on ICM at the same time as a poll for the best films of 1948 was being held,I decided that I would try to combined the two as much as possible. Never having seen the actor despite reading dozens of reviews praising his films,I decided it was the perfect time to open the cupboard to Fernando.The plot:Waiting for his aunt to arrive, Alfred Puc by the driver bringing her over across the country that she suddenly died,and that not wanting to get accused of murder,he had her in a cupboard/furniture in back of his van. As the driver hands Puc the key to the cupboard, gangsters steal the van and its contents. The only one with a key,Puc goes in search to open a cupboard.View on the film:Feeling under pressure over the missing body of his aunt, Fernando gives a hilarious performance as Puc,whose attempts to keep his search undercover has Fernando bursting it at the seams. Unintentionally ending up in the underbelly of the town,Fernando dives into the slap-stick,with a frantic run to all the cupboards in the hotel,and high anxiety of his quest going over a waterfall. Dumping the corpse in a cupboard straight away,writer/director Carlo Rim keeps the gags moving at a lightning speed,by crossing the thugs and glitz of the "Caper" genre,with the race/chase Comedy of things getting increasingly absurd as Puc crosses the finish line to a wonderfully bonkers twist ending. Leaving Puc as the only one with a key to the cupboard,Rim lays on the glamour to every door Puc opens,to find a cupboard not bare.
