A man materializes naked in a New York alley. He is soon sold into slavery and forced to stoke the furnace of a mysterious building in the shape of a gigantic elephant. There he begins to devise his peculiar strategy of collective liberation, through terrorism and messianism, surrounded by a motley entourage of guerrillas. 'Los difuntos' is a hybrid tale of steampunk, western and pure philosophy; a prequel to the television series 'Los muertos' and the epilogue to one of the most ambitious narrative projects in contemporary Spanish literature, brilliantly illustrated by Celsius Pictor.
