Hvordan skal han klare å skrive et minneord som vil leve opp til det som hans suksessfulle forfatterbror har skrevet til tidligere familiebegravelser? Og hvordan skal han klare å dekke alle kostnadene til begravelsen, han som knapt klarer å brødfø seg selv og familien? Når slekten samles på det prektige landstedet blir problemene flere.

Nå er det opp til de to brødrene å gjennomføre begravelsen med en viss verdighet og samtidig sikre at farens hemmelighet følger med i graven.
